Synthwave Visual Language
Great synthwave artwork captures the genre's visual identity: neon grids, sunset gradients, chrome text, retro-futuristic cityscapes, VHS aesthetics. The AI understands these associations and generates artwork that feels authentic to the Synthwave aesthetic, not generic stock-art covers.
You can also add a custom prompt to guide the AI toward specific imagery. For example, try "Neon city skyline at sunset with chrome grid, retro-futuristic" to push the artwork in a particular direction while keeping it rooted in the synthwave visual language.
Animated Covers
After generating your Synthwave artwork, you can animate it into a looping video merged with your audio. This creates a shareable MP4 perfect for social media promotion - the visual moves while your track plays. The 5-second animation is free with an account.
