Free playlist cover generator

Design a square cover for your Spotify, Apple Music or YouTube Music playlist. Pick a template, change the words, download. No sign-up, no watermark.

Drop a photo on the cover to use it as the background. JPG at 1000 × 1000 is a good fit for most music apps.

How to make a playlist cover

Everything happens in your browser. Your photos stay on your device, and the finished cover is ready for any music app that takes a square image.

  1. Start from a template

    Choose a mood that matches your playlist, or press Shuffle for a fresh combination of colors, fonts and shapes.

  2. Make it yours

    Type your playlist name, try a few fonts, swap the gradient or drop in a photo of your own.

  3. Download and upload

    Save the cover as JPG or PNG, then set it as the playlist image in Spotify, Apple Music or YouTube Music.

Playlist cover ideas by mood

Each template is a starting point. Open one in the editor, then change anything you like.

Playlist cover size and format

Music apps show playlist covers as squares, from tiny thumbnails to full-screen artwork. Export at 1000 × 1000 px for a sharp result that uploads quickly. Use 3000 × 3000 px when you want print-quality artwork or plan to reuse the design elsewhere.

Keep your playlist name large and away from the very edges. Covers are often shown small, and some apps place controls over the corners.

Questions people ask

Is this playlist cover generator free?

Yes. Every template, font and export size is free, with no watermark and no account.

What size should a Spotify playlist cover be?

Playlist covers are square. A 1000 × 1000 px JPG is a safe choice: sharp on every screen and small enough to upload quickly.

How do I change my Spotify playlist cover?

On mobile, open the playlist, tap the three dots, choose Edit, tap the cover image and pick your downloaded file. On desktop, open the playlist, click the cover image and choose a new photo.

Can I use these covers for Apple Music or YouTube Music?

Yes. The covers are plain square images, so they work anywhere you can set a custom playlist image.

Are my photos uploaded anywhere?

No. The cover is drawn in your browser, so your photos never leave your device.
