What is the LANDR Cover Art Generator, and how can I use it?
The Cover Art Assistant is an AI-powered tool that transforms your own photos and images into professional cover arts. You stay in control, upload a picture you already own, choose how you want it transformed and polished, and the AI stylizes it around your creative direction.
The process has two steps. The parameter area is locked until you've uploaded an image.
1. Upload your image (required)
Start by uploading a photo or artwork you own. This is your creative foundation, the AI transforms it rather than generating from scratch.
2. Set your creative direction (at least one parameter required)
Once your image is uploaded, the parameter panel unlocks. You must provide at least one of the following before you can generate:
- Style — choose from a curated set of visual styles
- Custom instruction — describe the mood, genre, or look in your own words
- Color palette — choose from a curated set of color scheme
You can combine any of these freely, for example, style + color, or custom instruction + style + color.
3. Generate
The Generate button activates once both requirements are met. Your inputs are assembled and sent to the AI model, which returns a stylized version of your image.
