SoundCloud Album Cover Resizer
Album covers define your track's visual identity on SoundCloud. SoundCloud asks for a square JPG or PNG of at least 800×800 pixels, under 2 MB. Anything smaller can look blurry in players and playlists.

SoundCloud track artwork requirements: Square JPG or PNG, at least 800×800 px, under 2 MB
800×800 is SoundCloud's stated minimum, not a recommended target — a larger square holds up better on high-density screens. Digital distribution through SoundCloud for Artists is stricter: 3000×3000 px at 300 dpi.

Why At Least 800×800 Pixels?
SoundCloud uses a square format across all players and sets 800×800 as the minimum. Below it, artwork blurs in the player widget. Because SoundCloud derives its own smaller display sizes from your upload, a larger square than 800×800 stays sharper on high-density screens—so treat 800×800 as the floor. Match the visual vibe to your music's mood.
Artwork That Gets Plays
Listeners scroll through thousands of tracks. Eye-catching artwork stops the scroll. Professional album covers signal quality music. Consistent visual branding across tracks builds recognition and helps fans find you.
Create Your Album Cover
Upload your artwork and we resize it to an 800×800 square automatically. Save as JPG for photographs, PNG for graphics. SoundCloud rejects track artwork over 2 MB, so stay under that. Preview how it looks at thumbnail size—that's how most listeners discover it.

SoundCloud asks for square track artwork of at least 800 x 800 pixels as a JPG or PNG under 2 MB. That 800 x 800 figure is a minimum rather than a target, so a larger square is safer for high-density screens. If you are also sending the release to stores through SoundCloud for Artists distribution, the artwork rules are stricter: a 3000 x 3000 pixel square at 300 dpi.
