Album Cover Maker
Build a 3000×3000 album/single cover. Apple Music's guidelines ban watermarks, URLs, and price text — check your export against the Artwork Policy Checker before submitting.
3000×3000 is a genuinely high-resolution requirement, not just a suggestion — Apple's submission pipeline is strict about source resolution rather than accepting a typical social-post-sized upload. Designing at full size here rather than upscaling a smaller image afterward avoids the soft, slightly blurry look that scaling up tends to produce.
Apple's artwork guidelines are strict about what the image itself can contain — no watermark, website URL, price badge, or third-party logo anywhere in the frame, rules that are easy to violate by accident with a leftover design-tool watermark or a stray social handle tucked in a corner.
- •Run the finished export through the Artwork Policy Checker before handing it to a distributor — it catches the technical rules automatically, though content rules like "no price text" still need a manual look.
- •Export as flat PNG or JPEG rather than leaving a background layer transparent — Apple's transparency rule fails artwork with any alpha channel, even an unintentional one left over from an editing tool's default canvas.
