Download Spotify album covers in full size

How to download a Spotify cover

1. In the Spotify app, open the album, song, playlist or artist. Tap the ⋯ menu (or Share) and choose Copy link. On the web player or desktop app, right-click the title and choose Share → Copy link.
2. Paste the link above and choose Get cover art. SaveMingo asks Spotify which image belongs to that link and checks each available size.
3. Pick a size and choose Download. The file is saved as a JPG with a readable name such as spotify-global-warming-large.jpg.

Links look like open.spotify.com/album/…, open.spotify.com/track/…, open.spotify.com/playlist/… or open.spotify.com/artist/…. Regional links such as open.spotify.com/intl-de/album/…, links ending in ?si=…, and Spotify URIs such as spotify:album:… work too. Short spotify.link links must be opened first so you can copy the full address. Podcasts, episodes and audiobooks are not supported.

Which Spotify cover sizes you get

Spotify stores album artwork as one image in several fixed sizes. SaveMingo requests each one, opens the file to read its real width and height, and shows only sizes that exist, without duplicates.

A song shares the cover of the album or single it comes from. Some older releases only have a 640-pixel cover. In that case the largest option simply shows 640 × 640, because the tool never stretches an image to look bigger. A few covers are not perfectly square, and the real dimensions are always shown before you download.

Artist pages give the artist's profile photo, usually 640, 320 and 160 pixels wide. Playlists give the playlist cover Spotify shares publicly, which is usually 300 × 300. For a playlist made by Spotify or by you, that is the custom image or the four-cover mosaic shown in the app.

Tips for getting the right cover

• Deluxe and standard editions are separate albums on Spotify, and their covers often differ. Copy the link of the exact edition you want.
• Singles usually have their own artwork. Paste the song link from the single, not from the album, if you want the single cover.
• For a wallpaper or a video background, choose the largest size. Phone wallpapers are taller than they are wide, so a square cover is cropped or placed on a coloured background.
• For a playlist cover of your own, Spotify accepts square JPG or PNG images. The medium 640-pixel size is plenty for that.

How it works

SaveMingo uses Spotify's official public oEmbed service, the same one websites use to embed a Spotify player. You need no Spotify account, the tool needs no API key, and it never logs in. The tool reads the ID from your link and rebuilds a clean open.spotify.com address before asking Spotify about it, so it never visits the exact address you pasted. Images come only from Spotify's own image servers. Each file is checked to be a real JPEG, PNG or WebP image, and it is served from SaveMingo's address as a download.

Questions

Why does a link say there is no public artwork? The album may have been removed, may not be available in Spotify's public catalogue, or the link may be incomplete. Copy the link again from the Share menu and try once more.

Is 1500 × 1500 the original artwork? It is the largest copy Spotify makes public. Labels often upload larger files, and Apple Music sometimes publishes them at 3000 × 3000 or more. If you need the highest resolution, try the Apple Music artwork downloader with the same album.

Can I download songs or podcasts? No. This page saves only the cover image. It does not download, record or convert any audio.

Does it work on my phone? Yes. Paste the link in your mobile browser and tap Download. On iPhone, Safari saves the image to the Files app first, and from there you can save it to Photos.

Can I use the cover anywhere? Album art belongs to the artist or label and is usually protected by copyright. Personal use, reviews and commentary are common reasons to save it. For anything commercial, get permission first. See our copyright policy.
