AI Cover Maker

The hard part of a cover was never the artwork — it's the title staying readable at thumbnail size

A cover is not a poster. A poster is read by someone standing in front of it; a cover is usually the size of a thumbnail — a video recommendation tile, a feed entry a couple of centimetres wide. So the first job of a cover is that the title survives being shrunk: big enough, contrasty enough, and not swallowed by the artwork behind it. That's what this page does: tell it the title and the platform, and it lays out to that size, putting the headline where contrast is strongest.

What comes back is layered: headline, subtitle, background and accents each on their own layer. Something off? Say "make the headline one size bigger" or "switch the background to dark green" and it touches only that layer. Export when you're happy, or keep the PSD — next episode, you change one line of text instead of starting over.

Key features

Laid out to the platform's size, not cropped afterwards

YouTube 16:9, a square podcast tile, a 3:4 social cover — just name the platform. The size is fixed up front, so the headline is placed for that ratio and nothing gets sliced off when it's cropped.

Still readable at thumbnail size

Big headline, strong contrast, background dimmed where it needs to be. That isn't a style preference — it's the hard constraint of the format. Nobody clicks a tile whose title they can't read.

Make a batch, then just change the words

Keep the PSD and the next episode only needs the headline layer changed. Doing all 24 at once? Give it the chapter list and it'll produce them in batches, zipped up at the end.

Say what's wrong instead of rerolling

"Move the subtitle down a bit", "the accents are too busy, drop them" — it edits the existing draft rather than generating a new one. You can also just do it yourself: every tool is there, same as ordinary editing.

How to use

  1. 1
    Open the editor
    The button below creates a canvas and opens the AI panel. Nothing to prepare beforehand.
  2. 2
    Give it the title and the platform
    "A YouTube thumbnail, title 'Why We All Work Late', dark tone" — the platform sets the size, the title sets where the weight goes.
  3. 3
    Fix the layer that bothers you
    Headline, subtitle, background and accents are separate layers; name the one you mean. You can also just drag things into place.
  4. 4
    Export, or keep it as a template
    PNG / JPG to publish now, PSD to reuse next time. No watermark, no export limit.

FAQ

Will the platform crop my cover if the size is wrong?
No — the size is set from the platform up front and the layout follows that ratio. If your platform isn't in the common list, just give the numbers ("1280×720"). What you see on the canvas before exporting is the final framing; there's no second crop.
Do I need an account to make a cover?
The AI-creation step does need a sign-in (quota is managed centrally by TutuAgent; this site sets no limit of its own). But the editor itself — adding text, cropping, colour, filters, exporting — needs no account and works offline. You can lay out a cover entirely by hand without registering at all.
Can I use my own image as the background?
Yes. Open the editor and drop the image in (anywhere on the page works), then ask the AI to add the headline and accents on top. You can also let it draw a version first and swap the background layer for your photo.
Can I use the result commercially?
Exports carry no watermark and we claim no rights over what you make. If your prompt asks it to imitate a specific brand or a copyrighted work, though, the output may touch someone else's rights — that judgement sits with you. Your own headline and your own palette are fine.
