SoundCloud Image Sizes 2026: The Complete Guide
Learn the correct SoundCloud image sizes for 2026. Track artwork, profile photos, and header images — every dimension for a sharp, professional artist page.
Getting SoundCloud image sizes wrong means a blurry track cover in search results, a stretched profile photo, or a banner that looks unprofessional on your artist page. This guide covers every SoundCloud image size you need in 2026 — track covers, profile photos, and profile banners.
SoundCloud Image Sizes at a Glance
| Format | Size (px) | Aspect Ratio | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Track / playlist cover | 800x800 | 1:1 | Min 800x800; displayed as square |
| Profile photo | 1000x1000 | 1:1 | Displayed as circle; upload at 1000x1000 |
| Profile banner | 2480x520 | ~4.77:1 | Wide header; keep content centred |
Track and Playlist Cover: Square and Sharp
Every SoundCloud track and playlist requires a cover image. It displays in search results, on your profile, in the player, and in embeds — so quality matters. The minimum size is 800x800 px, but upload at the highest resolution you have (SoundCloud will scale down).
Covers are always square. Design with a centred focal point — logos, album artwork, or product shots all work well. Avoid placing important text near the edges.
Accepted formats: JPG and PNG. Maximum file size: 10 MB.
Profile Photo: Artist Identity
Your SoundCloud profile photo is displayed as a circle across the platform — on your profile page, next to comments, and in search results. Upload at 1000x1000 px for the sharpest result at all display sizes.
Keep your subject centred with clear margins on all sides. Avoid placing text or important details near the edges — the circle crop will cut them off.
Profile Banner: Wide Background Image
The profile banner stretches across the top of your SoundCloud profile page. Upload at 2480x520 px. Because SoundCloud displays the banner at varying widths on different screen sizes, design with the most important content in the central horizontal zone — roughly the middle third of the image.
Avoid placing text or logos near the left or right edges. The banner will be cropped on narrower screens.
