In a Rush? Here are the Quick Facts!

Spotify users can now design custom playlist cover art.
Both free and premium users can access the new functionality.
Only one custom cover art can be saved per playlist at a time.

Spotify has announced the rollout of a new feature that enables users to design and customize their own playlist cover art. This update, unveiled on Tuesday, is currently available in beta across 65 markets through the Spotify mobile app for iOS and Android. Both free and premium users will have access to this functionality.

Previously, users could upload custom images for their playlists, but this new feature allows for more creative control. To utilize the feature, users can select a playlist they wish to edit, tap the three-dot menu on the playlist page, and choose the “Create cover art” option.

In the cover art creation interface, users can upload photos from their camera roll or start with a blank canvas. The app provides various customization options, including different text styles, colors, effects, and background gradients. Users can also add stickers to enhance their designs.

However, there is a limitation: users can only save one custom cover art per playlist at a time. Creating a new cover will automatically replace the existing one for that specific playlist. To keep multiple designs, users must save each version before making another.

This update aims to enhance user experience and personal expression within the Spotify platform, allowing users to visually represent their musical preferences. As the feature rolls out, it may encourage users to engage more with their playlists.

Hi, I’m Kiara Fabbri a Tech News Writer at WizCase. I'm a multimedia journalist with a keen interest in innovative and immersive news storytelling. Fluent in three languages—Italian, English, and Spanish—I'm deeply engaged in all facets of news reporting. I am currently undertaking a Ph.D. exploring VR applications in journalism. Following my studies in psychology (BSc) and political psychology (MSc), I embarked on a three-year journey across South America. During this time, I undertook a 4000 km solo bicycle trip from Chile to Brazil. There, I camped, cooked on the road, and volunteered in various facilities. It was during these travels that I discovered my passion for journalism. Subsequently, I pursued a Master's program in journalism innovation and enterprise. My career in journalism has seen me produce VR immersive experiences covering a range of topics. These include documenting an Anti Militaristic raid of a NATO Base, life in the Brazilian Favelas, the recent violent protest clashes in Buenos Aires and finally social projects run by Skaters in the Argentinian ghettos. In addition to my journalistic endeavours, I also practice parkour, a discipline I have cultivated over several years now. I love to make the most of this skill in my journalistic style; for example, it has enabled me to capture dynamic footage from heights during the recent violent clashes in Buenos Aires. There, I scaled heights and employed a long stick on my camera to create aerial 360° views. Through my dedication to pushing the boundaries of journalism, I am committed to amplifying voices, sparking meaningful conversations, and driving positive change in the world.
