Spotify Canvas Maker
A Spotify canvas is the looping vertical visual behind a track that listeners watch on the now-playing screen, in the app's show page, search and the now-playing screen. This page opens the Studio with Reel Cover Maker already set to the Spotify canvas size — 9:16 · 1080×1920 (animate to 3–8 s) — so the only decision left is what goes on it.
The look Spotify listeners expect from a Spotify canvas is one strong shape that survives a 200 px tile, and the preset leans that way; change one field and it leans somewhere else. A Standard run of a Spotify canvas is cheap enough to try three versions, and the one you keep can be re-run at Pro before upload.
What this fixes
- Your Spotify canvas is a static square cover stretched to vertical
- You want a moving Spotify canvas and have no video footage
- The Spotify canvas does not match the cover art
- Text on the Spotify canvas fights with the player controls

Podcast Cover MakerQuestions
How do I make the Spotify canvas move?
Render the vertical Spotify canvas still here, then use Animate for a 4–8 second clip with a subtle motion prompt; Spotify loops it behind the track.
Which size does the Spotify canvas come out at?
9:16 · 1080×1920 (animate to 3–8 s) — the Spotify canvas tool is locked to that ratio; use Reframe on the result for any other platform.
Do I need a subscription for a Spotify canvas?
No — sign in, spend the 4 free credits on a Standard Spotify canvas run, and buy a $4.99 pack of 250 credits if you want more. Monthly plans are there when the Spotify canvas becomes a weekly habit.
