Take Your Spotify Playlists to the Next Level With Custom Cover Art

October 22, 2024

At Spotify, we know our users like to flex their creativity. We’ve seen this come to life across the more than 8 billion playlists listeners have created to soundtrack their musical moods, milestones, and every moment in between. Now we’re giving music fans the power to design and customize their own playlist cover art so their playlists can always look as good as they sound.

Rolling out in beta on the Spotify mobile app today, the new feature offers both Free and Premium users the ability to create their own cover art with unique images, colors and text effects, graphic elements, and more, allowing them to make their music playlists more unique and personalized than ever before.

Creating cover art on Spotify

All you need is a mobile device to access and use this feature. Whether you’re on iOS or Android, head to the Spotify mobile app (make sure it’s up to date) and select a playlist that you personally created or create a new one.

  • Tap the three-dot menu on the playlist page and then select “Create cover art” within the menu options.
  • From there, you can upload an original photo of your own and add or update a variety of elements, including:
  • Once complete, your playlist will be updated with your new cover art, and you can share your creation directly with friends or on social media platforms.

Pro tip: You can only save one custom cover art per playlist at a time, and each new cover you create will override the previous one for that specific playlist. If you’d like to create multiple covers for a playlist, make a copy of the playlist first. The easiest way to do that is to open the playlist you wish to copy, tap the three-dot menu, select “Add to other playlist,” and then tap “New playlist” to create your copy.

With the feature currently available in beta to users in English in 65 markets, we’re excited for fans to personalize their music playlists like never before. We’ll keep innovating and expanding the tool, so stay tuned for what’s to come.

Get inspired by the experts

As part of the launch, we’ve partnered with music artists, visual creators, and artists behind some of the world’s most iconic album art to empower listeners to unlock a new level of creativity and individuality. Each used the new feature to create unique cover art for one of their playlists on Spotify.

Music artists include Clairo, Jamie xx, and Arlo Parks. On the visual creator front, we’ve tapped Pablo Rochat, Jesse Nyberg, Vita Kari, and Elliot Ulm. Finally, our album artwork experts include creative director Imogene Strauss; Adrian Hernandez, the creator of Ugly Primo and designer of Un Verano Sin Ti by Bad Bunny; and Cey Adams, who has designed albums and logos for The Notorious B.I.G., Beastie Boys, and JAY-Z.
