Spotify accepts 300x300 as a floor but renders covers much larger on desktop and TV apps, so uploading at 640x640 or above avoids a soft, upscaled look. The one hard rule is that the image must be square.
The minimum is 300 x 300 pixels and it must be square. Uploading 640 x 640 or larger gives a sharper result on bigger screens.
Spotify requires a square JPEG under 4 MB. Non square images and PNG files are the usual causes of a failed upload.
No. Album artwork comes from the distributor when the release is delivered. Only playlist covers can be changed by users.
Podcast artwork is much larger at 3000 x 3000 pixels, since it is shared with Apple Podcasts and other directories.
