AI Album Cover FAQs
2. Do I need a long prompt?
No. A short note about genre, lighting, or mood works best to steer the cover without over-stylizing.
3. Which file types work best?
Upload JPG, PNG, or WebP under 10MB for faster processing and smoother textures.
4. Can I change the aspect ratio?
Album covers stay square for stability. Crop your photo before upload if you need another ratio.
5. Can I switch AI models?
Model switching is disabled to keep the album-cover styling consistent across results.
6. Will it keep my facial features?
Yes. The effect adds lighting and texture while preserving key facial proportions.
7. Does it support text on the cover?
The layout leaves room for titles, but you'll add exact wording afterward to keep outputs clean.
8. How long does generation take?
Generation time depends on the model, image size, and queue. Check the task status on this page.
9. Is a studio-quality photo required?
Well-lit shots give the best results, but casual photos also work if the subject is clear.
10. Can I run it without uploading an image?
No. This is an image-to-image effect and needs one photo to start.
