- Worth noticing
- The guide distinguishes Spotify’s 3–8-second vertical Canvas from Apple Music’s 8–35-second motion artwork.
Field notes
The input guidance specifies JPG or PNG, up to 5 MB, and recommends a square source at least 3000 × 3000 pixels. The guide says a vertical Canvas crop removes the sides of the square, so it advises keeping faces, logos, and type near the center. It also distinguishes the free local effects preview from AI source generation, which the page says uses a separate server quote.
