Coverly — Covers That Get Clicks
📱 Social Media Cover Maker — Click-Driving Covers With Built-In Typography
Content brief, existing cover, or reference image → click-driving cover with typography designed directly into the artwork.
✨ What it does
This skill turns a content brief, existing cover, or visual reference into a click-driving social media cover designed for the target platform.
Covers are generated through OpenAI GPT Image 2, with composition, color, subject placement, typography, and platform-safe layout designed together as one complete artwork. Titles, hooks, and key text are rendered directly into the image — so the result feels like a finished cover rather than a template with text added afterward.
📲 Built for
YouTube · Instagram · TikTok · X · Facebook · LinkedIn · Pinterest · Podcast platforms
Including YouTube thumbnails, Shorts covers, channel banners, Instagram posts, Reels covers, TikTok covers, podcast artwork, and more.
🎬 Works for
Tutorials, vlogs, product reviews, interviews, news, food, travel, fitness, tech, channel branding, and other content where the cover needs to make people stop and click.

🔄 How it works
1️⃣ Understand the content and platform
Identifies topic, platform, content type, hook text, style direction, and whether to use a face, product, object, brand asset, or abstract visual.
📱 Platform matters — each one needs different dimensions, safe zones, and visual priorities. If unclear, the skill asks before designing.
2️⃣ Choose the click-driving visual direction
Designs around what the viewer grasps in the first moment — subject, composition, hook text, color, contrast, expression, and what makes it stand out in the feed.
🎯 Goal: make the topic instantly recognizable and give viewers a reason to click.
3️⃣ Apply platform specs and safe zones
Applies size, format, and safe-zone rules — keeping text and key visuals away from UI overlays on vertical formats, and adjusting composition so banner content isn't cropped.
4️⃣ Generate with integrated typography
Generated through OpenAI GPT Image 2 as one complete artwork. Title and hook text are designed directly into the image with platform-appropriate typography, contrast, placement, and scale.
🖼️ Reference images are first identified as subject / product / brand / style / existing cover, then used accordingly.
5️⃣ Check the final cover
Verifies text accuracy, feed-size recognizability, safe-zone placement, no unrequested text, and brief match. Refine any single part — hook text, layout, expression, background, color, or format.
