Spotify Canvas maker.
A Canvas is the short vertical loop that plays behind your track in the Spotify app. Make it from your cover: a record or a turntable turning a whole number of times, so the loop has no seam.
Opens with a vinyl in the Canvas format. Free to design, sign in only to export.
What Spotify asks for
Spotify says a Canvas is 3 to 8 seconds long, vertical 9:16, between 720 and 1080 pixels tall, and an MP4 or JPG file (Spotify for Artists, Canvas guidelines).
What AudioAnimate gives you
- An MP4 in 9:16 and Full HD.
- A loop of up to 8 seconds: the most whole turns of the disc that fit, so the end meets the start. An animated background has its period set to the same loop.
- No sound and no watermark, since Spotify takes neither.
- A disc, a vinyl, a turntable or the CD player. The CDJ, the iPod and the Walkman are not for a Canvas: they play the song and never loop.
If one turn of the disc lasts more than 8 seconds, the studio tells you to set the speed to 8 rpm or more.
Free or Pro
You can design a Canvas for free and see it loop. Exporting one is Pro. If you only need any loop and no real gear, a free editor will do the job. Come here when you want the loop to be a Technics deck or a pressing in your release color.
Then upload it
You need Spotify for Artists access to the track: the first main artist, a main artist on the track and the release, or an Admin or Editor. On the web, open Music, pick the track, click Add Canvas (Adding a Canvas to Spotify). The full walk-through is in the Canvas guide.
