Designing Custom Cover Art in Spotify

While users have already been able to upload a custom image for a playlist, this new feature lets you create your own cover art right within the app. The feature is currently available in 65 markets as part of a beta test on the Spotify mobile app for both iOS and Android.

To access the feature, simply select one of your playlists that you want to create custom art for. Then, tap the three-dot menu on the playlist page and click on the "Create cover art" option.

Design Options

Once you’ve accessed the design mode, you can choose from a variety of elements to customize your playlist’s cover art. These include:

Text styles: You can add text to your cover art and play around with different fonts, colors, and sizes.
Colors: You can change the background color or add gradients to give your cover art a unique look.
Effects: You can apply various effects to your design, such as drop shadows or textures.

Adding Stickers

You can also add stickers to your custom cover art. This feature allows you to get creative and make your playlist stand out from the rest.

Saving Custom Cover Art

When you create a new custom cover art, it will automatically replace the previous one for that specific playlist. If you want to save multiple versions of your cover art, you’ll need to save each one before creating another.

Personalizing Your Spotify Experience

This new feature is just one of many additions that Spotify has been rolling out in recent times. The company is committed to giving users more ways to personalize their experience on the app.

Competition with Other Music Streaming Services

The launch of this new feature comes as Spotify continues to compete with other music streaming services like Apple Music and YouTube Music. Spotify’s efforts to innovate and provide unique features will be crucial in its bid to stay ahead of the competition.
