Spotify Cover Art Sizes & Presets
Spotify cover art should be 3000x3000 pixels in JPEG format for album and single releases distributed through aggregators. Playlist cover images need a minimum of 300x300 pixels and can be uploaded directly in the Spotify app. High-quality cover art is critical since it represents your music across every Spotify surface. FastEdit helps you prepare cover images at the exact specs.
Presets
Cover Art
3000x3000 JPEG Max 20 MB

Tips
- Music distributors require exactly 3000x3000 JPEG cover art: anything smaller or non-square will be rejected.
- Avoid including explicit logos, social media handles, or pricing in cover art: this violates most distributor guidelines.
- Playlist covers can be changed anytime in the Spotify app: use 600x600 or higher for sharper display on large screens.
- Cover art appears at sizes ranging from 48px (mini player) to full screen: test readability at small sizes.
