When a music fan creates a playlist on Spotify, it’s not just for listening—it’s a canvas for creative expression. Around the world, listeners have created more than 8 billion playlists to tell stories, set moods, and soundtrack their lives. Now, we’re making it even easier for more listeners to add a visual dimension to their creations: Starting today, our “Create Cover Art” feature is available in 41 new languages and 63 additional markets.
With this expansion, both Free and Premium users on mobile in these markets can design and customize their playlist covers with unique images, text, graphic elements, and more. Whether you want your cover to reflect your mood, highlight a favorite artist, or simply add a personal touch to your go-to mix, you can now make any playlist look as good as it sounds—right from the Spotify app.
How to customize your playlist cover
-
- Open the Spotify mobile app on iOS or Android (make sure it’s up-to-date) and select a playlist that you created (or create a new one).
- Tap the three-dot menu and choose “Create cover art.”
- From there, you can upload original photos and add or update a variety of elements, including:
- Text styles, colors, and effects
- Background colors and gradients
- Image masking and visual effects
- Exclusive stickers
- Once complete, save and share your playlist with friends.
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: Open the playlist, tap the three-dot menu, select “Add to other playlist,” and then tap “New playlist.”
Summertime stickers
To celebrate, we’re also rolling out our latest digital sticker pack: a summer-themed collection of 13 stickers, from bumblebees and butterflies to rainbows and waterdrops. This marks our fourth sticker pack release, joining our Valentine’s Day collection and limited-edition Tyler, The Creator and COWBOY CARTER packs. Users in all markets where the feature is live can access the summer stickers to personalize their playlists for the season.
By expanding playlist cover customization, we’re giving even more fans the tools to unleash their creativity. We’ll keep innovating and building new ways for our users to express themselves—so stay tuned for what’s next.
