About Animated Album Cover
A practical workspace for independent musicians to frame and animate their own album artwork.
Last updated: 2026-11-01
Made for the artwork you already have
Animated Album Cover is an independent creative tool for musicians, producers, designers and small release teams. Start with your own JPG or PNG, keep the full cover or inspect a 9:16 crop, and explore gentle movement before deciding how to produce a video.
The free local preview runs in your browser. Selecting a file does not upload it. Signing in and choosing Save sends your cover and the selected composition, motion brief and protected areas to our private storage. Local preview effects are not AI-generated footage.
A clear path from cover to motion
The workspace brings framing, artwork type, motion direction, loop choice and protection areas together. When AI generation is available, the service quotes the credit cost before you confirm. Our current image-to-video integration uses Kie.ai to access MiniMax H3. AI can change details or produce visible artifacts; a generated source video still needs suitable framing, looping and export checks.
Spotify Canvas guidance and Apple Music motion-artwork guidance describe different destinations. Apple export, additional example styles and other planned tools are being developed separately; a guide or illustrative image is not proof that an export feature is available. Use the controls and availability shown in the workspace.
Your artwork remains yours
Only use artwork and likenesses you own or have permission to process. Saving or animating a cover does not transfer its ownership to us or clear third-party music, image, font, logo or likeness rights. We do not run a public gallery of user uploads.
We are not Spotify, Apple Music or an official submission partner, and platform acceptance is not guaranteed. You or your distributor remain responsible for the final submission.
