Spotify Canvas maker that starts from your cover

A Spotify Canvas is the short looping vertical video that plays behind a track in the Spotify app. Echonos makes one from your cover art: a 4 to 8 second seamless loop in 9:16, ready to upload in Spotify for Artists, plus the same loop at 1:1 as an animated cover for Apple Music.

Make your Canvas

How it works

Step 1
Start from your cover
Create or pick the cover in Release Package. The Canvas is built from that cover, so the loop matches your artwork.
Step 2
Choose the loop length
Pick a loop between 4 and 8 seconds. Spotify accepts Canvas clips from 3 to 8 seconds.
Step 3
Render the loop
Echonos animates the cover into a seamless 9:16 loop, so the end flows back into the start without a visible jump.
Step 4
Upload in Spotify for Artists
Add the Canvas to your track in Spotify for Artists. Distributors do not upload Canvas for you.
