A Canvas is a 1080 × 1920 vertical video loop between three and eight seconds, with no audio. The album cover is a separate square image at 3000 × 3000.

How to use the spotify canvas size

1 Read the dimensions above. That is the whole answer if the spec is all you came for.

2 Drop your own image in to check it against the spec — size, aspect ratio and file weight are each checked separately.

3 Turn on the safe zone to see what gets cropped or covered, then download the cropped version at the exact size.

The bottom third is the constraint that matters: Spotify’s player controls, track name and progress bar sit over it, so a Canvas designed as a full-frame composition loses its lower portion behind the interface. Keep the subject in the upper two-thirds. The loop is silent and repeats continuously, which makes hard cuts jarring — a Canvas that returns cleanly to its first frame reads far better than one that snaps. And there is no text allowed that duplicates the track information, since Spotify already displays it.
