Spotify has just added a fresh feature that can bring your playlists to life.
With the new “Create Cover Art” tool, it allows users to merge music with design — giving users the chance to craft eye-catching playlist covers that are as vibrant as the tracks within.
Available in the English language across 65 regions (including the Philippines, this innovative feature allows users to flex their creative muscles, transforming ordinary playlists into customized visual masterpieces. With a user-friendly interface reminiscent of accessible graphic design apps, you can choose from a wide array of stickers, background colors, text options, and personal images to infuse your unique style into every playlist.
Whether you’re curating a new collection or revitalizing an old favorite, “Create Cover Art” caters to both. Spotify has also collaborated with a lineup of artists known for their playlist prowess like Clairo and Jamie xx, along with visual creators like Imogene, who is famous for her standout design for Charli XCX’s album Brat.

Once your design is complete, your playlist cover will be updated, ready to be shared across social media platforms. With this exciting addition, Spotify continues to redefine the boundaries of music and art — making playlist curation an even more engaging experience.
