How to use it

In Claude or ChatGPT

Use the PopNow skill "Album Cover Art Kit" (album-cover-art) for this: Cover for my single "Night Bus Home" by Mara Vale, lo-fi indie pop, late-night and warm. I also need a moving loop for my streaming profile.

In a coding agent

Then try

Go with direction B but make the band deep teal instead of indigo.

Add a 9:16 story image that says "Out Friday".

What to have ready

  • Exact title and artist name

Questions

Will the title be spelled correctly?

Yes. By default the artwork is generated without any text and the title and artist are set afterwards in real fonts at exactly 3000x3000, then checked for margin, size and contrast. If you want lettering drawn into the art, the skill uses the lettering model and checks every letter with you.

Why three drafts first?

Choosing between three different ideas on cheap drafts is faster and cheaper than regenerating one idea at full quality. Nothing is made at full size until you pick a direction and confirm the spelling.

Does it meet store requirements?

The checker tests the common rules: square, at least 3000 px, RGB, no transparency, JPEG or PNG, file size. Rules change, so the skill reminds you to confirm the current ones with your distributor before upload.

Can it make the cover look like a famous album?

No. It will not imitate a named artist, band or record. Describe the mood, era or colours you like and it builds original directions from that.

Can it make a mixtape or single cover, not only an album?

Yes. Singles, EPs and mixtapes use the same 3000x3000 square, so it doubles as a mixtape album cover maker. The AI album cover maker step only paints the picture; your title and artist name are set as real type, so they are never misspelled.
