SoundCloud recommends JPG or PNG track artwork of at least 800×800 pixels and says track images must be under 2MB. Square images work best for tracks and playlists.

- •Favor a simple focal image that remains legible in small playback thumbnails.
- •Update track and playlist artwork separately when both should use the same visual.
What you need to know
SoundCloud's track editor accepts artwork under 2MB and recommends a JPG or PNG of at least 800×800 pixels. Square images work best because the artwork appears in square cards across track pages, lists, and playback surfaces.
Playlist artwork uses the same 800×800 target and accepts images up to 2MB. Changing a playlist image does not automatically replace the artwork on the tracks inside that playlist; those assets are managed separately.
Design for small playback contexts as well as the full track page. A simple focal image, strong contrast, and limited text remain recognizable when the artwork is reduced to a thumbnail.
