Animate your finished cover while the composition, lettering, and colors stay put. Upload the cover, describe the movement or keep the default, and download an MP4 for Canvas, Reels, Shorts, or a visualizer.
Motion artwork is now standard on the biggest releases: Spotify shows a Canvas behind the track, some platforms accept motion cover art through your distributor, and every social feed favours video over stills. An animated cover reuses the art you already paid for and gives you one asset that works as a Canvas, a Shorts loop, a lyric-video background, and a pre-save announcement.
The tool uses your image as the first frame and generates the frames that follow from the prompt. That is why the artwork stays recognisable: the engine is continuing your picture, not repainting it. Describe what should move and, just as importantly, what should not. Slow drifting light and floating dust with the subject and text unchanged is a better prompt than make it epic. Standard renders quick clips; Best follows the prompt more closely and keeps the subject steadier.
Upload the cover image, keep or edit the motion prompt, pick a tier and, on Best, an aspect ratio, and generate. Download the MP4 when it finishes; it is usually ready in a few minutes.
As a Spotify Canvas, as motion artwork on platforms that accept video covers, as a looping visual behind a lyric video, as an intro for a music video, or as the release post on Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube Shorts.
The default prompt asks for the composition and title to stay unchanged, and small movements keep lettering intact. Strong motion can warp text, so if the title matters most, describe motion in the background only.
Yes. On Standard the clip keeps the cover's shape, so a square cover gives a square loop. On Best, set Aspect ratio to Match image for the same; 9:16 and 16:9 crop the cover to fit and do not extend it.
Not in this tool, but the AI Image Generator makes cover art from a prompt, and the Album Cover Maker page opens it with a cover-ready prompt. Make the art there, then animate it here.
