Frequently asked questions

What is vaporwave style?

Vaporwave is a nostalgic visual aesthetic built on 80s and early-90s motifs: pink-and-cyan sunset gradients, glowing wireframe grids, palm silhouettes, classical statues, chrome type and glitch artifacts. It feels dreamy, retro and slightly surreal.

Can I use it for album or playlist covers?

Yes - it is one of the most popular uses. Generate at 1:1 for square cover art and leave space in the composition for your title text. Every image includes a commercial license for release artwork.

How do I push the aesthetic harder?

Combine several motifs at once: "pink and cyan gradient", "wireframe grid", "palm silhouettes", "retro sun", "chrome", "glitch" and "80s nostalgia". The more of these you stack, the stronger the vaporwave read.
