The Ultimate Guide to Changing Spotify Cover: Album, Song, Playlist

Part 1. Spotify Cover Art: What Is It

Spotify cover art refers to the image displayed on Spotify associated with a song, album, or playlist. They play a crucial role in attracting listeners and conveying the music's mood and genre. Spotify recommends a size of 3000 x 3000 pixels for optimal display, with a file size of 4MB or less. JPEG format is preferred, although PNG and TIFF are also supported. When creating or selecting cover art, aim for an sRGB color space with 24 bits per pixel to ensure accurate color representation across different devices.

Part 3. How to Change Spotify Album/Song/Playlist (Public) Cover

Changing Spotify album/song/public playlist covers involves modifying the metadata embedded within the music files. This metadata includes information like the artist name, album title, track names, and the album cover image itself. Spotify, as a streaming platform, doesn't allow you to directly modify the metadata of albums.

To change the album cover of a specific song or album, you'll need to download the music files to your computer. After downloading, you can use third-party software or media players to edit the metadata, allowing you to change the cover art.

For this, we recommend the powerful DRmare Spotify Music Converter. This tool allows you to download Spotify songs to your computer while preserving their original ID3 tags and metadata.
