Real SoundCloud publish ratios side by side. Pick the surface, then crop to that artboard.

Sizes on SoundCloud

Open a guide for exact pixels, safe zones, and an in-browser crop for that surface.

Profile picture

1000 × 1000

Circular avatar—official minimum useful 800×800; 2MB website upload.

Header / banner

2480 × 520

~5:1 profile strip—avoid edge text; 2MB limit.

Track cover

800 × 800

Square artwork for a track—not the circular profile photo.

Artist identity vs release artwork

Your profile picture is a circle—help asks for at least 800×800 (try 1000×1000), 2MB, updated on the website. The header is a very wide strip at least 2480×520; avoid edge text because phones crop the sides. Track covers are square 800×800 stamps for each upload.

Mixing those exports is the usual failure mode: a header stretched into a track cover, or a track square used as the circular avatar without a fresh crop. Reuse photography if you want—export each ratio on purpose.

Each guide includes practical pixels, a checklist, and an in-browser crop. Nothing is uploaded to a server—you download the file and publish on SoundCloud yourself.

Quick picks

Match the task to the guide so you do not export the wrong ratio.

  • Only the circle on your profile → Profile picture at 1000×1000 (min 800×800).
  • Refreshing the wide strip → Header at 2480×520; keep type out of the side crops.
  • Dressing a new upload → Track cover at 800×800.
  • Coming from Spotify or X → Re-crop; those ratios are not SoundCloud artboards.

Frequently asked questions

What size is a SoundCloud profile picture?

At least 800×800 square. Prefer 1000×1000. It displays as a circle—help cites a 2MB limit and website upload.

What is the SoundCloud header size?

At least 2480×520 (~4.77:1 / roughly 5:1). Avoid relying on text—small screens crop the sides. Stay under 2MB.

What size is a SoundCloud track cover?

800×800 square artwork for the track. Distinct from the circular profile picture even when both are squares.

Can I crop SoundCloud sizes in the browser?

Yes. Every guide on this hub includes an in-browser crop—files stay on your device until you download and upload to SoundCloud yourself.
