spacing and position
the three sizes that matter
Cover art has one production number, one reference number, and one reality number. Know all three before you export anything.
- 3000
- The store spec. Distributors require a 3000x3000 upload for streaming, and the streaming preset here renders at exactly that.
- 2048
- The classic master. The original lime-green cover is a 2048-pixel square, the very file #8ACE00 and the blur ratio were sampled from.
- 640
- The reality check. One big platform shows covers at 640 pixels in its app, which is why short titles read best from a shelf of thumbnails.
rendered at real resolution
An open secret about cover tools: plenty of them draw on a tiny canvas, sometimes 500 pixels, then stretch the file before download. The filename says 1000 or 3000. The pixels say otherwise. Upscaled text has mushy edges, and a 3000-pixel spec filled with 500 pixels of actual information looks exactly as bad as that sounds.
This brat album cover generator does it the boring, correct way. Pick the streaming preset and the canvas itself becomes 3000x3000, with the 69% squish, the ink-box centering, and the blur all scaled to the new edge. What you download is what was drawn. Zoom in and check.
how to make a release-ready brat cover
-
name the record
Type the album title into the text box. Two or three words hit hardest at thumbnail size, and the layout centers a short title so its ink height sits at about 27% of the canvas, same as the original.
-
settle on a colorway
Classic green is the reference. If your record wants something else, tap a swatch for black, white, or pink, or set any custom background and text color. The justified white deluxe block is the alternate that reads most like real sleeve design.
-
switch to the streaming preset
Open the size menu and choose streaming spec, 3000x3000. The canvas re-renders at that exact resolution with the squish and blur scaled to match, so nothing gets stretched later.
-
export the png
Hit download and take the PNG. It is the full 3000x3000 file, ready to hand to your distributor without resizing, converting, or opening a photo editor.
questions people actually ask
what size does an album cover need to be for streaming?
Stores require a 3000x3000 pixel upload, and 1400x1400 is the minimum most distributors will let through. One big platform then displays your cover at just 640 pixels inside its app. So render at 3000 but design for 640: one flat color, a short readable title.
should i export cover art as png or jpg?
Stores accept both, but use PNG here. JPG compression leaves faint artifacts around hard edges, and this design is nothing but hard edges: a flat color and some text. PNG keeps the green perfectly flat and the letterforms clean at the full 3000 pixels.
can i actually release music with a cover made here?
Yes. Export the PNG and upload it to your distributor like any other artwork; it meets the size spec they forward to the stores. The design itself is your own text on a flat color, which is about as clean as cover art gets.
should the blur stay on for a real release?
That is a taste call. The soft, slightly out-of-focus look is the whole aesthetic; the original artwork measures a gaussian blur of 0.4% of the canvas edge, which sits right on the slider. The default here is a subtler 0.15 so titles stay readable, and zero gives you fully crisp; the squish and the centering stay authentic either way.
why does true resolution matter for cover art?
Some generators draw on a small canvas, around 500 pixels, then upscale the file before download. Upscaling cannot add detail, so text edges come out soft and smeared, and a store review can bounce the art. This brat album cover generator draws every preset at its target size, so a 3000x3000 export contains 3000x3000 real pixels.
will my title get cut off or crowd the edges?
Cover art stays square on every store, so there is no platform crop to design around. The text auto-sizes and centers on its ink box, long titles wrap and shrink to fit the canvas, and the white deluxe block keeps about 4% padding on every side.
