I don’t have cover art yet. What happens if I skip it?

If you skip cover art, lyrik makes a simple stand-in cover for you and builds your colours from that, and you can still pick your own colour in the studio.

How to skip it

1. When lyrik asks 'Got cover art? Every style takes its colours from it.', tap Skip for now. If you’d already chosen an image, the button reads Use no cover.
2. Your answer reads 'No cover art' with the note 'We’ll make a quiet placeholder from your colours.'
3. Changed your mind before uploading? Tap Add one.

What actually happens

• lyrik makes a stand-in image: a simple still life of one or two sculptural shapes.
• That image is used wherever a style uses your cover: for the colours, for every 'Your cover' background, and for the cut-out.
• The studio still says 'Colour · from your cover'. Here, 'your cover' means the stand-in.
• Behind is greyed out with 'Needs a photo of a person on the cover', because the stand-in has no person in it.

Make it look like yours

1. In the studio, find the Colour row.
2. Tap + Your colour.
3. Pick a colour from the ring, or type a brand colour code like #1f6feb and tap Use.
4. Tap Done.

Your colour carries across every style.

Adding real art later

The cover can’t be added or changed after upload. When your art is ready:

1. Start a new video with the same audio file.
2. Add your cover art at the cover question.
3. Syncing it again is free on your account, and quicker.
