Generate a Spotify Canvas That Loops Seamlessly
Turn your cover art into a looping 9:16 Canvas built to Spotify's 3-8 second spec, then download it for Spotify for Artists.
AI Studio
A Canvas should feel intentional, not stretched
Most Canvas clips are a cropped video or a looping GIF that repeats awkwardly. Artlink's Canvas mode is built specifically for Spotify's silent, locked 9:16 format, with a loop style you pick on purpose instead of one that just happens to line up.
How to set it up
Start from your cover art
Upload your release artwork or a reference image in AI Studio's Canvas mode as the visual starting point.
Choose a loop style
Pick Continuous, Hard Cut, or Rebound depending on how you want the clip to repeat behind your track.
Generate and download
Review the result against Spotify's 3-8 second spec, then download the file and upload it manually in Spotify for Artists.
Best use cases
New release Canvas
Give a single or album track a moving background instead of a static cover the moment it goes live.
Back-catalog refresh
Add a Canvas to older releases that never had one, using existing artwork as the source image.
Consistent visual identity
Reuse the same cover art and loop style across a release's singles so the Canvas visuals feel connected.
Platform fit
Spotify for Artists
Canvas files are downloaded from AI Studio, then uploaded manually to the track in Spotify for Artists; there is no automatic publish step.
Spec compliance
Output is built to Spotify's 3-8 second window and locked 9:16 aspect ratio so it meets Spotify's Canvas requirements.
Credits
Canvas generation draws from your shared AI Studio credit pool, with the exact cost shown before you generate.
Mistakes to avoid
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I make a Spotify Canvas with Artlink?
Open AI Studio's Canvas mode, start from your cover art or a reference image, choose a loop style, generate the clip, then download it and upload it to your track in Spotify for Artists.
Does Artlink publish the Canvas to Spotify for me?
No. Canvas export is a download; you upload the file yourself in Spotify for Artists. Artlink does not publish directly to Spotify.
Can I choose exactly how long the Canvas is?
Canvas output is built to Spotify's 3-8 second spec rather than a freely adjustable length. Loop style (Continuous, Hard Cut, or Rebound) is what you control directly.
