Square vs Portrait Format

The generator offers two formats: Square (1:1) for traditional album covers, Spotify, Apple Music, and Instagram posts. Portrait (9:16) for Instagram Stories, TikTok, YouTube Shorts, and Reels.

For hip-hop specifically, square format works best for album releases and playlist covers, while portrait is ideal for promoting tracks on social media with the animated cover feature.

Animated Hip-Hop Covers

After generating your hip-hop album art, you can animate it into a looping video and merge it with your audio track. This creates a shareable MP4 that works perfectly on social media - the visual moves while your track plays.

The 5-second Seedance Lite animation is free with an account. Longer animations and premium models are available with credits.
