siutil Album Cover Maker

siutil Album Cover Maker is a browser tool for assembling album and CD cover art. It is best suited to musicians who already have an image or want a simple text-only cover. Its strongest case is practical: it combines streaming and print presets with full-size PNG export at no charge.

Overview

The maker keeps its scope narrow: choose a format, add artwork or a solid background, arrange a title and artist name, then export. That makes it a useful option for a straightforward release cover or a starting file for a print submission. It is less appropriate when a project needs more elaborate image editing or typography controls than the tool provides.

Key features

Streaming and print formats

Streaming presets are square canvases at 3000×3000px and 1400×1400px. The larger option matches the product FAQ’s widely recommended size, while the smaller corresponds to the minimum it says is used. CD jacket and 12-inch vinyl presets measure 121×121mm and 314×314mm, respectively, and export at about 300 DPI. Those dimensions offer a convenient starting point, but users preparing a submission should follow their distributor’s or label’s requirements.

Artwork and type

Users can add, drop, or paste an image, which is fitted to fill the square cover. Title or track name and artist text can be placed at the top, center, or bottom, aligned left, center, or right, and set in a sans or serif font. A soft shaded band behind the text is available when artwork is present, helping preserve contrast without requiring a separate background graphic. For text-only covers, the tool supports a solid-color background.

Label, export, and privacy

An optional black-and-white Parental Advisory Explicit Content label can be placed in the lower-left. Its use is subject to distributor and record-label policies, which can differ. Finished covers save as full-size PNG files. Artwork and text are processed in the browser rather than sent to a server, and the PNG is saved to the user’s device. Settings such as size, position, and colors are stored locally and can be cleared with Reset.

Pricing

The Album Cover Maker plan is free. There is no free trial because the product is already free, and no usage limits are stated. That makes it a sensible first choice for someone who needs a cover layout without committing to a paid tool. The trade-off is its focused set of controls: users who want a broader design workflow may need a different product.

Platforms

siutil Album Cover Maker runs on the web. Its browser-based processing suits users who prefer not to send cover artwork and text to a server, while local settings remain on the device until cleared.

Who it's for

This tool is a good fit for independent musicians assembling a basic cover from existing artwork, or making a solid-color design with title and artist text. Its streaming sizes suit square cover uploads for services such as Spotify, Apple Music, and YouTube Music; the physical-media presets can help prepare a CD or vinyl submission. It is not the right choice for users who need a more extensive creative toolkit.

Pros and cons

• Pros: Free access and streaming and print presets make it possible to prepare common cover formats without paying for the tool.
• Pros: Image input, basic text placement, two font styles, and a shaded text band cover the essentials for a simple layout.
• Pros: Browser processing and local settings keep artwork and text on the user’s device, according to the product’s stated behavior.
• Cons: The controls focus on image fitting and basic typography, so more involved cover design calls for another tool.
• Cons: Print presets are starting dimensions, not a substitute for checking a distributor’s or label’s submission rules.

Verdict
