Album Cover Maker
Build a 3000×3000 album/single cover — Spotify recommends this size for the sharpest display across devices.
Format
Distributors generally pass this artwork straight through to Spotify at whatever resolution it was submitted at, so a cover uploaded below 3000×3000 stays soft-looking everywhere the release appears rather than getting fixed later — there's no upscale pass on Spotify's end that improves it after the fact.
- •Since the same file shows up as a tiny queue thumbnail far more often than as a full-size cover, check that the title or key visual detail still reads clearly at a very small size, not just full-screen while designing.
- •A high-contrast focal point near the center tends to survive both the tiny thumbnail and the full-size view better than detail spread evenly across the whole frame.
