Artwork Validator

Upload a finished album cover and check it against Apple Music's artwork policy margins.

Upload an image to check it against the Album Cover safe zone

Anything in the dimmed area risks being covered by platform UI (titles, captions, buttons, rounded corners). Keep key subjects and text inside the dashed line.

Album cover is the only format checked here, since Apple Music's artist profile picture has no comparable UI overlap problem to guard against — it's just a plain circular photo, covered instead by this site's Artist Profile Preview tool.

A margin problem, not a UI problem — this checker exists for the margin-based rules in Apple's own artwork guidelines rather than a UI element layered on top: keeping any text, logo, or important detail away from the outer edge gives a buffer against the kind of edge-cropping some distributor pipelines apply during ingestion.
