Spotify has launched a new Beta feature that allows users to customize their playlist covers, enhancing personalization and creativity. Both free and paid users can choose colors, graphics, and photos, creating visually appealing playlists that reflect their musical tastes. This feature fosters a deeper connection with the platform and encourages users to share their curated collections with others.
Quick guide on usage:
How to Create Custom Playlist Cover Art on Spotify
- Open the Spotify app on your iOS or Android device.
- Select a playlist that you personally created—or start creating a new one.
- Tap the three-dot menu on the playlist page and select ‘Create Cover Art.’
- Upload an original photo of your own, or choose a variety of custom options.
- Text styles, colors, and effects can be added to the image.
- You can also change the background color and gradients or use image masking and visual effects.
- Spotify also included exclusive stickers from artists to use in this new feature.
- Once complete, the playlist will be updated with your newly created cover art.
Its important to know that Spotify just allows one custom cover per playlist at a time. If you’d like multiple covers, make a copy of the playlist first by selecting “Add to other playlist” and creating a new one.
As part of the launch, Spotify has collaborated with renowned music artists like Clairo, Jamie xx, and Arlo Parks, as well as top visual creators, to inspire users in unlocking their creativity through custom cover art.
This initiative not only highlights the importance of music but also emphasizes the role of visual art in enhancing the listener’s experience. The collaboration aims to inspire users in unlocking their creativity through custom cover art, encouraging them to explore their artistic side and offering a experience more immersive and engaging for everyone involved.
