Safe Zone Checker
Upload a finished album cover or header image and check it against Spotify's UI overlay zones.
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.
The artist profile format is deliberately excluded here since its own header/photo overlap is already covered by the dedicated Artist Profile Preview tool, which renders desktop and mobile crops side by side rather than a single static safe zone.
- •Album cover — the risk here isn't a UI overlay so much as the artwork simply losing detail once Spotify displays it as a tiny queue thumbnail.
- •Header image — a separate, wider format worth checking on its own rather than assuming the same margins that work for a square cover apply here too.
Checking a finished export against these zones before the release goes live is what this tool is for.
