Artwork Requirements

Your release artwork appears on every digital platform, from small thumbnails on mobile to large displays on desktop. Meeting technical requirements ensures your artwork looks professional everywhere.

Technical Specifications

• Format: JPG, JPEG, or PNG
• Shape: Square (1:1 aspect ratio)
• Minimum size: 3000 × 3000 pixels
• Maximum size: 6000 × 6000 pixels
• Resolution: 300 DPI
• Color space: RGB

Content Guidelines

Platforms enforce content guidelines for artwork. Common reasons for rejection include:

• Pixelated or blurry images
• Stretched or distorted artwork
• Text that is cut off or unreadable
• URLs, social media handles, or website addresses
• Platform logos (Spotify, Apple, etc.)
• Pricing information or promotional text
• Contact information
• Excessive branding not related to the release

Best Practices

• Use high-resolution source images. Avoid upscaling small images
• Ensure text is legible at small thumbnail sizes (300×300px)
• Keep important elements away from edges (some platforms crop slightly)
• Use RGB color space. CMYK artwork may display incorrectly
• Test how your artwork looks at both large and thumbnail sizes

File Size

While there is no strict file size limit, extremely large files (over 20MB) may cause processing delays. A well-compressed JPG at 3000×3000px typically ranges from 1–5MB, which is ideal.
