Frequently asked questions.

What makes a good album cover?

Can I use my own images on my cover art?

Upload your own images, along with your logo, branded elements, and color palette. Use our editing tools to enhance your images, including filters, borders, and the remove background tool.

What is the recommended size for the album cover?

Your cover art size could depend on your destination. Vinyl album covers are a 12.375” square, while CD covers are a 4.75” square. Cover art for streaming services can also vary. Spotify recommends 640px by 640px, and Apple Music requires a minimum size of 4000px by 4000px. Start your design with your destination in mind.
