Make a Spotify Canvas From Your Cover in Minutes
Turn your release artwork into a looping, silent 9:16 clip built to Spotify's 3-8 second spec, then download it ready to upload to Spotify for Artists.
Locked to Spotify's silent 9:16 format · Built to Spotify's 3-8 second spec · Three loop styles: Continuous, Hard Cut, Rebound
A Canvas should feel intentional, not stretched
A static cover image is the default on Spotify's now-playing screen, and most artists never replace it. A Spotify Canvas maker turns that same cover into a looping visual moment, built specifically to Spotify's locked 9:16, silent, 3-8 second spec, so it plays correctly the first time instead of getting stretched into the wrong shape or length.
Built for the way artists actually promote music
Start from your cover art
Use the artwork you already made for the release as the starting frame instead of sourcing a separate video asset.
Locked to Spotify's spec
Canvas mode is fixed to the silent, vertical 9:16 frame and the 3-8 second window Spotify requires, so you can't build the wrong shape by accident.
Choose how it loops
Pick Continuous, Hard Cut, or Rebound so the clip reads as intentional motion instead of an abrupt jump every repeat.
How it works
Open Canvas mode
Start from your existing cover art or a reference image as the base for the clip.
Pick a loop style
Choose Continuous, Hard Cut, or Rebound depending on how you want the motion to repeat behind your track.
Download and upload
Download the finished file, then upload it yourself to the track in Spotify for Artists — there's no automatic publish step.
Frequently asked questions
What size and length does a Spotify Canvas need to be?
Spotify's Canvas spec is a vertical 9:16 video, 1080×1920 pixels recommended (720×1280 minimum), 3-8 seconds long, delivered as an MP4 (H.264) or JPG. It plays silently — Spotify drops any audio in the file. Artlink's Canvas mode is locked to this spec, so the output uploads to Spotify for Artists without reformatting.
Does Artlink publish the Canvas to Spotify for me?
No. You download the finished clip and upload it yourself in Spotify for Artists; there's no automatic publishing to Spotify.
Can I choose exactly how long my Canvas is?
Canvas output targets Spotify's 3-8 second spec rather than a length you set freely. What you control directly is the loop style — Continuous, Hard Cut, or Rebound.
How much does it cost to make a Spotify Canvas?
Canvas generation runs on AI Studio credits. Every paid Artlink plan includes a monthly credit allotment — from 40 credits on Solo Star ($8.99/month) up to 100 on Super Nova — and one-time credit packs start at $17 for 170 credits. Free accounts don't include monthly credits.
