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? Does my image get sent out?

No account. The AI creation step runs in the cloud and sends only the sentence you wrote — no sign-in, free credits every day; when the canvas already has content, the assistant takes a thumbnail screenshot to look at it. The editor itself, plus text, cropping, color adjustment, filters and export, all run on your device and work offline — you can lay out a cover entirely yourself.

Can I use my own image as the background?

Yes. In the editor, drag your picture in (it catches the drop anywhere on the page), then have the AI add a title and accents on top — at that point the assistant takes a thumbnail screenshot and sends it to the cloud so it knows what's in the picture. Or have it draw a version first, then swap the background layer for your picture.

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.

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

Open the editor and try a title

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

Name the platform or give a size directly (“1280×720”) — for example a WeChat article header at 2.35:1, a video cover at 16:9, a Xiaohongshu post at 3:4, a podcast tile at 1:1. The AI places and sizes the headline for that ratio; if the canvas size is off, just ask it to change to that size — no drawing first and cropping afterwards.

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
Open the editor

Click the button below: it creates a canvas and opens the AI assistant chat — no material to prepare first.
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
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
Export, or keep it as a template

PNG / JPG to publish now, PSD to reuse next time. No watermark, no export limit.
