Creating a release
Cover art
Upload your own cover or generate options from the track's mood.
Using your own cover
In the Cover art step choose Upload my own. Use a square image, ideally 3000 x 3000 pixels, as PNG or JPG.
Generating options
- 1Press Generate options. Loudfriday reads the title, description and lyrics and turns them into visual keywords.
- 2It searches royalty-free photo libraries and, on plans that include it, creates AI images.
- 3Each image is styled as a cover with one of four treatments: grain, blur, duotone or clean.
- 4Press Try more as often as you like. Click an option to save it as your cover at full size.
Turn Title on cover off if you want the image only. If you uploaded an artist logo in Settings, you can add it to the corner so listeners recognise your releases in playlists.
Tips
A cover does not make a song go viral, but a poor one can hold it back. Keep a consistent style across releases, and let colour follow the mood: darker for calm or winter tracks, brighter for upbeat ones.
A better description gives better images. Mention the setting, the season, colours and the feeling of the track, then press Save details and generate again.
