Two optional settings in the Schedule step of the upload wizard help your release stand out.

Motion art

Motion art is a short looping video shown with your music on supported platforms, similar to Spotify Canvas.

  • Formats: MP4, MOV or WebM
  • Aspect ratios: 1:1 (square) or 3:4 (portrait)
  • Keep it short and seamless so the loop looks natural.
  • The same content rules as cover art apply: no logos, links or text promotions.

TikTok preview start time

TikTok and its related apps use a 30-second clip of your track. Choose the preview start time to decide where that clip begins. Pick the most recognisable part of the song, usually the hook or chorus.

If you do not choose a start time, the stores decide which part to use.
