Music streaming is already the most mainstream way people listen to music today. And Spotify is the most popular music streaming platform in the world. Whether you use Spotify Premium or Free account, you can easily create personalized playlists, add/change a beautiful Spotify playlist picture and even write descriptions, helping your playlist stand out in search, and attract more followers or listens. When you created a personal Spotify playlist, the cover image will automatically collages the album artwork of the first four tracks in your playlist. If that generic cover doesn’t suit your tastes, you may want to change the cover image of your playlist on Spotify.
In this article, we’ll show you how to change a Spotify playlist cover on your PC, Mac, Android, and iOS, and discover a great way to download and keep Spotify playlists that can be played anytime and anywhere.
Before we begin, you should know that the image that you want to set as your Spotify playlist cover must be a JPG file, at least 300 x 300 pixels — 4 MB max file size. And you can only change the photo of the playlists you've created, but can't change the photo on playlists created by others.
To change your playlist’s cover image on Android or the iPhone Spotify app, do the following:
1) Navigate to your desired playlist and press the ⋮ button at the top of the playlist.
2) Select "Edit Playlist".
3) Tap on the "Change Image" option.
4) Select an image then click "Save".
Changing your playlist picture on Windows, Mac, or the Web is quite simple. Here is how you can set custom playlist pictures on Spotify:
1) Launch the Spotify app on your PC or Mac.
2) Select any custom playlist you’ve created on the bottom left corner of Spotify.
3) Hover over the current cover photo and click on the "Choose photo"
4) After that, you can pick any image on your computer.
5) Select the picture, click on Open. Click on "Save" and your playlist photo will be changed.
