What are the exact Spotify Canvas dimensions?

Spotify Canvas requires a vertical 9:16 video in MP4 format. Recommended resolution is 1080×1920 pixels (minimum 720×1280). The tool above exports both sizes at the exact required spec.

How long does a Spotify Canvas have to be?

A Spotify Canvas must be 3 to 8 seconds long. Anything shorter or longer will be rejected at upload.

What is the aspect ratio for a Spotify Canvas?

9:16 — vertical, the same ratio as TikTok or Instagram Reels. The tool's crop frame is locked to 9:16 so you can't accidentally export the wrong ratio.

Is spotifyedits.com really free, with no watermark?

Yes. No signup, no account, no email, no watermark. The tool runs entirely in your browser using WebCodecs — your files never leave your device.

How do I make a seamless looping Canvas?

Enable the 'Seamless loop' checkbox before export. The tool applies a 0.3 / 0.5 / 0.8-second crossfade with cosine easing from the last frames back to the first frames, so Spotify's loop has no visible cut. This produces the 'Continuous Loop' style described in Spotify's own Canvas guidelines.

What Spotify formats does this tool support?

Four formats: Canvas (9:16 MP4 at 720×1280 or 1080×1920, or a still JPEG), Header / Banner (2660×1140 or 3990×1710), Avatar (750×750 or 1500×1500), and Cover Art (1600×1600 or 3000×3000).

Why does my Canvas upload keep failing on Spotify?

The three most common reasons: wrong aspect ratio (must be 9:16), wrong duration (must be 3–8 seconds), or wrong file format (must be MP4 H.264). This tool enforces all three automatically — exports always match Spotify's spec.

What is the Spotify profile picture / Avatar size?

Spotify Avatar is square: minimum 750×750 pixels, recommended 1500×1500 for retina displays. JPEG or PNG, sRGB. Spotify crops the avatar to a circle in the UI, so keep important detail centered.

What is the Spotify Header / Banner image size?

Spotify Header is 2660×1140 pixels minimum (≈2.33:1), JPEG or PNG. The artist name and avatar are overlaid on the lower-left, so keep that area visually clean.

What size should Spotify Cover Art be?

Cover Art must be a 1:1 square at 3000×3000 pixels, JPEG, sRGB color profile, under 10 MB. Distributors like DistroKid, Tunecore and Amuse all enforce this.

Is my video uploaded to a server?

No. All processing — cropping, image-to-video rendering, H.264 encoding via WebCodecs — happens locally in your browser. Nothing is sent anywhere. You can verify this by going offline before exporting; the tool still works.

Can I download someone else's Spotify Canvas with this tool?

No. spotifyedits.com is a Canvas maker, not a downloader. Spotify's Canvas content is the artist's own copyrighted material; downloading other artists' Canvases without permission is a copyright issue. You can re-download your own Canvas anytime from Spotify for Artists.

Do I need DistroKid, Tunecore or Amuse to add a Canvas?

No. Canvas is uploaded through Spotify for Artists (artists.spotify.com), not through your distributor. As long as the track is live on Spotify and you have access to the Spotify for Artists team, you can add a Canvas yourself with this tool's MP4.

What's the difference between Continuous, Hard Cut, and Rebound loops?

Spotify lists three loop styles. Continuous Loop is seamless — the end blends into the start. Hard Cut just restarts at the first frame, so there's a visible jump. Rebound is ping-pong: the video plays forward, then reverses. This tool produces the premium Continuous Loop using a real crossfade with cosine easing.

Which browsers does the tool work in?

Any modern Chromium-based browser (Chrome 94+, Edge 94+, Brave, Opera, Arc), and Safari 16.4+. Firefox does not yet support WebCodecs MP4 encoding, so MP4 export won't work there — JPEG export still does.

Built by an artist

For artists, not for SaaS.

I'm Anton — independent artist. I built this because the existing Canvas tools were either paywalled, watermarked, or just bad. Listen to my latest release while you work — it's why this tool exists in the first place.

Header2660 × 1140 minimum, JPG or PNG, keep lower-left visually calm — that's where artist name overlays.

FAQ

Common questions.

What changes when I choose another format?

The specs, upload copy, preview frame, export checklist and CTA all change inside the same workspace. That makes it clear what you are preparing.

Can I start from a Pexels video?

Yes. Pick a mood, preview, click "Use this →", and the clip loads straight into the editor. Pexels content is free for commercial use, no attribution required.

Where does Spotify Canvas appear?

Canvas appears in Spotify's mobile Now Playing view on iOS and Android. It does not replace the desktop cover art.

Do I need a distributor to upload Canvas?

No. Canvas is managed in Spotify for Artists. You still need access to the artist profile or team for the track.

Will my video have a watermark?

No. The encoded MP4 is exactly what you previewed — no overlay, no logo, no signature.

Why doesn't MP4 export work in Firefox?

Firefox doesn't yet support WebCodecs MP4 encoding. Chrome 94+, Edge 94+, Brave, Opera and Safari 16.4+ work fine. JPEG export works everywhere.
