Spotify Canvas and Apple Music motion artwork, made from your cover

On Spotify, a Canvas replaces your cover in the Now Playing view with a short vertical loop. On Apple Music, your artist page can move too. We animate both from your cover art, so the release looks alive on every screen it plays on.

Covers that move

A Canvas starts where our animated covers start: your artwork, brought to life with light, depth and motion. These are animated covers we made for artists' releases.

What we make

Spotify Canvas

A vertical 9:16 loop of 3 to 8 seconds that plays instead of your cover in the Now Playing view of the Spotify app.

Animated artist page for Apple Music

The artist's page on Apple Music in motion, designed in the same language as the releases.

Animated cover for Stories and Reels

An animated version of the single cover for Stories and Reels.

One look

The Canvas, the cover and the lyric video share the same artwork, colours and type.

  2. We suggest a motion idea and send a quote.

  3. We animate it and send it to you for approval.
