SoundCloud Banner Size
Upload your SoundCloud profile header (banner) at 2480×520 px. It stretches across the top of your profile, and mobile crops the sides, so keep your name and logo centered. JPG or PNG work.

Upload 2480×520 for the header
SoundCloud's profile header image is a wide 2480×520 banner across the top of your page. Because mobile and the smaller profile card crop the sides, keep your artist name, logo and key art in a centered safe zone.
Header vs track art
This is the profile banner, not the square track/album artwork — that is a separate 800×800 (or larger) 1:1 image. Use a dedicated file for each.
Format
Use JPG or PNG, ideally under 2 MB, in sRGB.
