Last Words

You can change the album covers on Spotify, but only for songs saved from your computer. Songs that stream on Spotify can’t have their covers changed because of music rules.

If you edit an album cover, it will update on all your devices that use Spotify. But if your playlist is public, others can also edit the cover image. Still, customizing covers for albums and playlists that only you control lets you have fun being creative!

Just know there are some limits since Spotify has contracts on streaming rights and shared permissions on certain music. You can style covers for your stuff in your own Spotify library, but not always on public playlists or the zillions of songs available to stream from artists.
