Album art is the Bandcamp storefront jacket
Bandcamp storefronts, fan emails, and share cards lean on a strong square. Soft phone crops and busy collage dumps look unfinished next to label releases. Listeners often decide whether to click from a tile—not from the tracklist page.
3000×3000 keeps the title and subject readable when Bandcamp scales the tile down for grids, wishlists, and mobile browsing. Start from a sharp master; upscaling a 600px logo into “large enough” still looks muddy on retina displays.
Profile pictures are a different square job (practical ~1024×1024 on this site). Stretching album art into the avatar wastes detail and clips corners. Spotify and Apple Music jackets may share the large-square habit—still re-check titles and safe zones per storefront.
If you sell merch or vinyl, design the digital jacket so it still works as a small stamp: bold subject, limited microtext, high contrast. Liner-note paragraphs belong in Bandcamp’s about text, not on the cover rim.
Good vs weak crop
Same feed frame—keep the subject inside the margin phones actually show.
Strong storefront jacket
- True 3000×3000
- Bold subject in the center
- Readable at tile size
- Separate from profile stamp
Soft stamp or wrong square

Design for Bandcamp tiles and share cards
Fans meet your release as a square among other albums. One clear subject and a short title beat a dense poster. Keep important type away from the extreme edges share cards may trim.
- Prefer fewer words on the image.
- Test readability at phone thumbnail size.
- Match mood across a discography without cloning every cover.
Album cover vs profile picture
The jacket sells a release. The profile mark identifies the artist or label. Share brand colors—not a forced downscale.
- Profile picture size — Practical 1024 × 1024
- Spotify album cover — 3000 × 3000 music jacket

JPG suits photographic covers; PNG suits flat illustration and hard type. Prefer sRGB. Start from a sharp master—Bandcamp will not invent detail that was never there.

- Letterboxing a landscape promo into a fake square.
How to use the crop tool
Upload the artwork, keep Album cover (3000×3000) selected, drag until the subject sits in the readable center, then download. Cropping stays in the browser.
- Zoom until the hero fills the zone.
- Prefer short on-cover titles.
- Publish in Bandcamp yourself after download.

Frequently asked questions
What size is a Bandcamp album cover in 2026?
Export a 3000×3000 square. That master stays sharp when Bandcamp scales the tile down on storefronts and share cards.
Is the album cover the same as the Bandcamp profile picture?
No. Covers are large release jackets. Profile pictures are a practical smaller square for the artist / label mark.
Can I reuse Spotify album art on Bandcamp?
Often yes as a starting file—both commonly want large squares. Still re-check titles and crops for Bandcamp’s storefront tiles.
JPG or PNG for Bandcamp covers?
JPG for photos, PNG for flat illustration and hard type. Prefer sRGB either way.
Can I crop Bandcamp album covers in the browser?
Yes. This guide includes an in-browser crop—files stay on your device until you download and upload yourself.
