Turn a song into a
Spotify Canvas.
Loopa is the AI Spotify Canvas maker that starts from the music. Describe your track, and the studio generates a looping 9:16 Canvas video for the Now Playing screen — no footage, no video editor, no install.
What is a Spotify Canvas
The looping video behind your song.
A Spotify Canvas is the short, vertical video that plays on a loop behind a track on the Now Playing screen — 3 to 8 seconds of motion in place of a static cover. It runs silently and repeats endlessly, and, according to Spotify, listeners are far more likely to share a track that has a Canvas. Loopa is the generator that makes one from your song in minutes.
Made with Loopa
Spotify Canvases, looping endlessly.
Every clip below is a real 9:16 loop made in Loopa — across the Spotify Canvas generator, the Cinemagraph tool and the Video Generator. They play the moment they scroll into view. This is what your track could look like.
How it works
How to make a Spotify Canvas.
Four steps from a song to a finished Canvas — no editor, no footage, no API keys.
- lyrics1
Describe your song
Open Loopa's Spotify Canvas generator, pick a genre, and describe the mood, story and imagery of the track. Paste a verse of lyrics and add a photo of the artist if you want them in the frame. The more feeling you give it, the better the visuals match.
- auto_awesome2
Generate three Canvas-ready stills
Loopa's song-aware AI designs three vertical 9:16 stills built for the Spotify Now Playing screen — different angles on the same mood, so you have real options instead of one guess.
- animation3
Animate a still into a seamless loop
Pick your favourite frame and animate it into a short 4- or 6-second seamless looping Canvas video — drifting light, rising steam, swaying hair, falling rain. The loop is engineered to repeat with no visible jump.
- download4
Download and upload to Spotify
Download the finished 9:16 MP4 and upload it in Spotify for Artists as the Canvas for your track. It loops silently behind your song on every listener's screen.
Why Loopa
A Canvas maker built for music.
It starts from the song
Most Spotify Canvas creators and makers ask you to bring your own video. Loopa is the Spotify Canvas video maker that starts from the music instead — describe the track or paste the lyrics and the AI imagines visuals that fit the mood.
Vertical 9:16 by default
Every frame is composed for the tall Now Playing screen, so nothing important gets cropped and the Canvas fills the phone edge to edge.
Truly seamless loops
The motion is tuned to cycle cleanly, so your Canvas repeats endlessly without the jarring cut that gives away a bad loop.
Put the artist in it
Upload a photo and Loopa can feature the artist as the subject across frames — a Canvas that actually looks like the release it belongs to.
Minutes, not a shoot
No camera, no editor, no After Effects. A finished Canvas comes out of a single description in the time it takes to read the lyrics back.
Three tools, one studio
Design from a song, animate any photo with the Cinemagraph tool, or generate full motion with the Video Generator — every export lands as a Canvas-ready 9:16 loop.

Spotify Canvas FAQ
How to make a Spotify Canvas — answered.
What is a Spotify Canvas?
expand_more
A Spotify Canvas is the short, looping vertical video that plays behind a track on Spotify's Now Playing screen. It's a 3–8 second 9:16 loop that repeats silently while the song plays, replacing the static album cover with motion. Artists add one per track through Spotify for Artists.
How do I make a Spotify Canvas with Loopa?
expand_more
Open Loopa's Spotify Canvas generator, describe your song (genre, mood, lyrics, and optionally a photo of the artist), and generate. Loopa designs three Canvas-ready 9:16 stills, you animate your favourite into a seamless 4- or 6-second loop, then download the MP4 and upload it as the Canvas for your track in Spotify for Artists.
What are the Spotify Canvas size and format requirements?
expand_more
Spotify Canvas is a vertical 9:16 clip, recommended at 720 × 1280 pixels, between 3 and 8 seconds long, that loops seamlessly and plays without sound. You can upload an MP4 video or a static JPEG. Loopa exports a 9:16 MP4 that already fits these requirements.
Is the Spotify Canvas generator free?
expand_more
Loopa runs on one-time credit packs — no subscription. A set of three Canvas stills costs about 12 credits and animating a frame into a loop is about 10 credits, with packs starting at $17.99 for 100 credits. Credits are shared across every tool in the studio and last 12 months.
Can I make a Spotify Canvas from just a song, with no video footage?
expand_more
Yes — that's the whole point. You don't need any footage. Describe the track or paste the lyrics and Loopa's AI generates the visuals from scratch, then animates them into a looping Canvas. You can optionally add a photo of the artist to feature them in the frames.
How do I upload my Canvas to Spotify?
expand_more
Log in to Spotify for Artists, open the track, choose Add Canvas, and upload the 9:16 MP4 you exported from Loopa. You need a claimed artist profile to add a Canvas; once it's live it shows for listeners on the Now Playing screen.
Does the Spotify Canvas have sound?
expand_more
No. A Canvas always plays silently — it's a visual loop layered behind your track, so the only audio a listener hears is the song itself. That's why Loopa focuses on motion that reads instantly without needing sound.
Can I make a Canvas for Spotify in vertical 9:16 for any genre?
expand_more
Yes. Loopa composes every Canvas in vertical 9:16 and works for any genre — indie folk, synthwave, ambient, lo-fi, pop, R&B, hip-hop, rock, electronic or score. Set the genre and describe the mood and the maker tailors the imagery to the sound.
