Cover art sizes & specs
Cover art dimensions vary by platform, but most require a square image at 3000×3000 pixels for music platforms and podcasts. For books, the standard is a portrait ratio of roughly 6:9 (e.g. 1600×2560px for Amazon KDP). Getting the wrong size means your cover gets rejected, cropped, or looks blurry.
Glif outputs cover art at the correct size for whichever platform you're targeting — just tell it where the cover is going and it handles the dimensions automatically.
Platform requirements:
- Spotify — 3000 × 3000px, JPG/PNG, min 1400px, 72 DPI
- Apple Music — 3000 × 3000px, JPG/PNG, square only
- SoundCloud — 3000 × 3000px, JPG/PNG, min 1400 × 1400px
- Amazon KDP — 2560 × 1600px, JPG/TIFF, portrait, 300 DPI for print
- Apple Podcasts — 3000 × 3000px, JPG/PNG, min 1400px

- Kindle (ebook) — 2560 × 1600px, JPG, portrait recommended
