Upload 640×640 even though 300×300 is allowed
Spotify's minimum playlist cover is 300×300, but it displays covers large on desktop and TV, so a 640×640 square keeps it crisp everywhere. Only your own created playlists let you set a custom cover.
Design for a small square
Covers also appear tiny in the library grid and now-playing bar. Use bold, legible text and a centered focal point so it reads at small sizes.
Format
Upload a JPG (Spotify prefers JPG for covers) under about 4 MB, in sRGB.
