Cover Art Requirements

he album cover is a crucial part of the release, as it appears across all streaming platforms and digital stores. To ensure your cover is accepted, follow these common requirements:

1. Size and Resolution: The image should be at least 3000 x 3000 pixels with a resolution of 72 DPI to maintain quality on different devices.

2. Format and Color: Use JPEG or PNG format in RGB colors, which are the most widely accepted formats.

3. Text and Legibility: Avoid overcrowding the cover with too much text. Ensure the artist name and song or album title, if included, are readable. Avoid very small or hard-to-read fonts.

4. Originality: The image must be original and should not contain logos, watermarks, or copyrighted images without permission.

5. Appropriate Content: Album covers with images of violence, explicit nudity, drug use, or hate speech are generally prohibited on distribution platforms.

6. Consistency with Content: The title and artist name on the cover should match the release metadata. Discrepancies may cause delays or rejection.

7. Proportion and Alignment: The cover should be square (1:1 ratio) and well-centered to avoid unwanted cropping when displayed on platforms.

Following these requirements helps ensure that your album cover is displayed with quality and accepted on all music platforms.
