Free Spotify Canvas maker with no watermark

What this Canvas maker is, and is not

It is an honest converter for footage you already own. It does not generate video with AI, it has no stock library and it does not add a logo to your file. You bring a phone clip, a cut from your music video or a photo; it turns that into a file that meets Spotify's Canvas spec. Because it runs in your browser, your unreleased visuals never leave your computer or phone.

Make a Canvas in four steps

1. Pick footage that loops well. A slow push in, smoke, a light flicker, hands on an instrument. Spotify suggests footage without talking, singing or rapping.
2. Drop it in and frame it. Drag the preview to move the 9:16 crop. For a landscape clip, Fit with blurred edges keeps the whole frame.
3. Choose the loop. Straight plays from your start point. Rebound plays forward, then backwards, which Spotify calls an easy way to get a smooth loop.
4. Export and upload. Download the MP4, then in Spotify for Artists open Music, pick the track and choose Add Canvas.

No video? Make a still Canvas

Spotify also accepts a JPG. Open the Still Canvas tab, drop a photo or your cover art and save a 9:16 JPG at 608 x 1080. The Cover art tab can also place your square artwork on a soft, blurred backdrop for a still Canvas in one click. It is a quick way to have something on every track on release day, and you can swap in a video later.

Ideas that suit an 8 second loop

• A slow zoom on the cover art photo, without the title text.
• Five seconds of live footage with the crowd lights, slowed down.
• Studio B-roll: a tape machine, a synth knob, a pedal board.
• A texture that matches the song: rain on glass, film grain, city lights.

Keep it calm. Spotify's guidelines ask you to avoid rapid cuts and intense flashing, and the content policy says no URLs, ticket links or requests to follow you on social media. Text is better left out: some phones crop the edges.
