Why animate your album artwork?
Animated artwork transforms your static album cover into a living visual experience inside music apps. Apple Music animated artwork plays behind your song on mobile, giving listeners a more immersive, branded moment that static covers can't achieve.
With Karadeo's AI artwork animator, you skip After Effects and complex video editing. Upload your album cover image, adjust the motion style prompt if needed, and AI generates a cinematic video directly from your artwork.
Once generated, open it in the Karadeo editor to add karaoke lyrics, adjust timing, or overlay text — then export and upload directly to Apple Music for Artists.
Upload your album artwork
Upload a square JPG, PNG, or WebP image. For best results use your final album cover at 1:1 ratio.
