FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this really free?

Yes. Album art generation, static MP4 creation, and image downloads are 100% free with no account required. Animating your art into a looping video requires a free account, and the default 5-second animation is also free.

What audio formats are supported?

MP3, WAV, OGG, FLAC, and M4A files up to 50MB. Your audio is used to create the shareable MP4 video and is not stored permanently.

Can I use AI-generated music?

Absolutely. This tool works with any audio you own, whether it was recorded in a studio, generated with Suno, Udio, or any other AI music tool.

What art styles are available?

Eight styles: Photorealistic, Abstract, Digital Art, Vintage, Minimal, Surreal, Anime, and Street Art. Each is optimized for professional album cover aesthetics.

Can I create album art for social media stories?

Yes. Choose Portrait (9:16) format when creating your art for Instagram Stories, TikTok, YouTube Shorts, and Reels. Square (1:1) works great for album covers, Instagram posts, and X.

What is the animated album cover?

AI takes your static album art and brings it to life as a looping animation. We merge it with your audio track to create a shareable MP4 video perfect for promoting your music on social media.

What size should album cover art be?

Album covers are square. The industry standard for full album distribution is 3000 x 3000 pixels (most distributors accept a 1400 x 1400 minimum, and Spotify accepts 640 x 640). AetherWave generates 1024 x 1024 square covers, which is ideal for streaming profiles, Spotify covers, and social. Choose Square (1:1) for covers, or Portrait (9:16) for Stories, Reels, and Shorts.

Can I make a Spotify cover and a Canvas?

Yes. Generate a square cover that meets Spotify's specs, then animate the same art into a looping video that works as a Spotify Canvas, plus Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube.

How does it create art from my song?

The AI analyzes your uploaded track and generates original artwork that matches its sound, mood, and genre, rather than dropping your title onto a stock template. You get eight styles to choose from per track.

Can I make cover art for a single, EP, or mixtape?

Yes. AetherWave generates square covers for any release, so it works for albums, EPs, singles, and mixtapes alike.

Do I own the album art I create?

The artwork is generated for your track and is yours to use for your release. As with any AI-generated image, review the usage terms for your specific distribution needs.

About

AI album cover art, made from your music

Most cover makers hand you templates. This one listens to your song. Upload a finished track and the AI generates original album art that matches its sound, mood, and genre across eight distinct styles, Photorealistic, Abstract, Digital Art, Vintage, Minimal, Surreal, Anime, and Street Art. You pick the look that fits, in square or portrait format, and download it free with no account.

Album art is always square. AetherWave generates covers at 1024 x 1024, which is perfect for streaming profiles, Spotify covers, and social. The industry standard for full album distribution is a larger 3000 x 3000, so upscale the image if a distributor requires it. Portrait (9:16) covers the vertical formats for Instagram Stories, TikTok, and YouTube Shorts. And when you want your cover to move, you can animate it into a looping video, ideal for a Spotify Canvas or a scroll-stopping Reel.

Whether it is an album, an EP, a single, or a mixtape, the artwork is built around your release, not a stock photo. It is the fastest way to arrive at your distributor with a professional cover ready to go.

Every track deserves album art.

Would you rather hand it over?

The generator above is free and yours to use. If the release is booked and you would rather someone else finished the cover, that is a separate thing I do: two concepts, three sizes cut from one master, delivered in 24 hours.
