How to make a band promo picture without a photo shoot

Updated · Reviewed by The Rift team

Short answer

Add a clear photo of each band member in Rift and tell Spark, Rift's video agent, the look, such as the four of you under a red stage light in black jackets. Spark plans the picture and shows a Draft. Tap Make and you get up to 4 versions at once to pick a promo picture from.

Add a photo of each band member and describe the look, and Spark makes up to 4 promo pictures at once. You skip the studio, the photographer and the day everyone is free. For the stage itself, see putting yourself on stage at a concert.

What you need

Step by step

  1. Add each member as a character from their photo.
  2. Describe the look in one line. Light, place and clothes.
  3. Check the Draft. Ask for a different mood.
  4. Make. Tap Make to get up to 4 versions. The price is shown on the Make button before you tap.
  5. Pick one in your Library and share it.

Questions people ask

How many versions do I get?

Up to 4 versions at once. Choose the one you like, then ask Spark for changes.

Can I put the band name on the picture?

Text over the picture isn't in the app yet. Add the band name in your design or posting app.

Can the band be in different places?

Yes. Each member sends one photo, and Spark puts you all in the same scene.

Can I use it as an album cover?

It is yours to post anywhere. Check your streaming service for its picture size rules.
