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:
Text styles, colors, and effects featuring our custom typeface, Spotify Mix.
Background colors and gradients.
Image masking and visual effects.
Exclusive stickers from artists like Jun Ioneda, Sam Lyon, James Marshall, and Shivani Parasnis.
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.

Clairo Here are some songs that I listen to when we are transitioning into fall. They remind me of making fires, going for drives, and big wool sweaters. I used the new artwork tool on Spotify to make the playlist cover. It reminds me a lot of scrapbooking: labeling different eras of my life with different pictures, shapes, and colors.
Stream Clairo's playlist.
Jamie xx I wanted to bring more of the feeling of The Floor to Spotify, so I used the new cover art feature to put together some of my favourite images from the club night in New York City, Los Angeles, and London for the Played by Jamie xx playlist. I've also updated the playlist with a few tracks I've been playing at recent shows and festivals.
Stream Jamie xx's playlist.
Imogene Strauss Spotify giving fans the ability to make their own playlist cover art is super exciting. It takes me back to learning to draw on the computer as a little kid, customizing my blog in middle school. I take a ton of pride in getting my playlists just right, putting a custom cover on them makes it that much more special. Everyone will have a ton of fun with this.
Stream Imogene's playlist.
Adrian Hernandez (aka Ugly Primo) Spotify's new playlist cover feature is letting us flex our creativity in a new way. I turned my Limpiando la Casa' playlist into straight-up visual mayhem-you'd think I was getting ready for a house party, but nah, I'm just cleaning my house. Cover art is a trailer for what's inside and I'm digging the ability to showcase what the audience is about to experience with this new feature.
Stream Ugly Primo's playlist.
Cey Adams As an artist from New York City, I see creating custom playlist cover art as a powerful tool for our creative journey-embracing every outlet to express ourselves. This Spotify feature empowers listeners to transform their playlists with the artists and songs that hold meaning for them, allowing them to build their identities through music and design. It's exciting to see a feature that encourages everyone to tell their stories creatively, connecting us all through the universal language of art and sound.
