Drag your album art, photo, or design onto the page. Start with the highest-resolution source you have — Spotify renders covers up to 3000×3000 on desktop and TV.
The crop box is pre-set to Spotify's 1:1 square. Resize and reposition — the ratio stays locked so the export matches Spotify's spec.
Spotify shows covers at sizes from 64×64 (Now Playing miniature) up to 600×600 in the desktop player. Keep titles and faces near the center so they survive heavy downscaling.
Export as JPG (smaller file) or PNG (for transparent/sharp graphics). Stay under Spotify for Artists' ~4 MB JPG / ~10 MB PNG cap.
Spotify's hard minimum is 640×640 pixels, but Spotify for Artists recommends 3000×3000 pixels for albums, playlists, and podcast covers. The 3000×3000 source downscales cleanly to every display size Spotify uses (from 64 px thumbnails to 600 px Now Playing).
Spotify renders covers across many sizes — phone Now Playing (≈1080 px), desktop player (≈600 px), browse tiles (≈300 px), and Now Playing miniatures (≈64 px). 3000×3000 gives the platform room to downscale with high quality, and matches Apple Podcasts and Amazon Music specs so a single export covers most stores.
Spotify for Artists caps cover uploads around 4 MB for JPG. A 3000×3000 JPG at quality 85 is usually 1–2 MB, comfortably under the cap. PNGs can run larger and may need quality tuning if they go over.
No — both use the same 1:1 square format and the same recommended 3000×3000 size. Playlist covers can be uploaded by any Spotify user, while album covers go through a distributor; the crop and spec are identical.
No. Spotify keeps album, playlist, and podcast covers fully square — unlike profile pictures, which are circle-masked. A square 3000×3000 export displays as a square on every Spotify surface (web, desktop, mobile, TV, Now Playing).
