Spotify Canvas

Make the listening moment move.

Develop a short vertical loop that belongs to the song. Bring existing artwork or a fresh visual direction into a compact, memorable piece of motion.

One small loop. A distinct impression.

Choose a visual that works immediately, then refine the movement and loop. Your source artwork can set the tone without having to appear as a static cover on screen.

01

Choose the visual

Bring artwork, an artist image or another reference that captures the song's world.

02

Keep the movement focused

Build a short vertical motion study with a clear subject and a considered beginning and end.

03

Review and export

Check the loop and export the asset for your Spotify for Artists upload workflow.

Keep exploring.

A few things
worth knowing.

Is Spotify Canvas different from the visual canvas?

Yes. Spotify Canvas is the short visual loop that accompanies a track on Spotify. The Visuals visual canvas is the workspace where you build and refine your project.

Does Visuals publish directly to Spotify?

The workflow produces the visual asset. Upload and manage your Canvas through the Spotify for Artists tools used by your team.

Can the same direction work elsewhere?

Yes. Use the visual direction across a release, then adapt the duration, aspect ratio and layout to each destination.

Let's make something worth seeing.

Start with one release.

Bring your music, your references, your next big idea. See what your team can make with Visuals.
