Artwork requirements

Cover art rules shared by the major stores.

Updated October 6, 2026

Technical

  • Square, at least 3000 × 3000 px.
  • JPG or PNG, RGB colour.
  • Sharp — no visible upscaling, pixelation or blur.

Content

Stores reject covers that include:

  • Website addresses, social media handles, QR codes or email addresses.
  • Store logos or names (“Available on Spotify”).
  • Prices, “new”, “exclusive” or similar marketing text.
  • Text that doesn’t match the release metadata — if the artist name or title appears, it must match exactly.
  • Explicit imagery that would break store content policies.
