Alright fam, it’s officially time to give your Spotify playlists the summer makeover they deserve — because the latest update is serving major vibes. Spotify just dropped its brand-new Summer Stickers collection, and let’s just say… your “Hot Girl Summer” playlist is about to look as iconic as it sounds.
ICYMI: Spotify has been all about letting users flex their creative muscles lately, thanks to its “Create Cover Art” feature that first launched last October. It lets users design custom covers for their playlists — we’re talking aesthetic background colors, bold fonts, artsy effects, and even exclusive stickers that are basically screaming main character energy.
Now, things are heating up even more: Spotify just rolled out the “Create Cover Art” tool in 63 more markets and 41 new languages (major global slay), meaning millions of playlist-obsessed users can now tap into their inner graphic designer — all from the app.
But let’s get into the real tea: the Summer Stickers.
This new drop includes 13 brand-new digital stickers inspired by everything we love about the season — think butterflies, bumblebees, rainbows, water drops, and other dreamy details that perfectly capture those laid-back, sun-soaked vibes. Whether your vibe is poolside chill, road trip anthems, or pregame bangers, your playlist cover can finally match your mood. And yes, these summer stickers join the growing sticker fam that’s included themed packs like Valentine’s Day, Tyler, The Creator’s exclusive collab, and even a pack inspired by Queen Bey’s Cowboy Carter era.
How to Use Spotify’s Create Cover Art Tool (Because We Know You’re About To Open The App RN):
-
Open Spotify on your phone (make sure it’s updated to the latest version).
-
Pick any playlist you created or start a new one.
-
Tap the three dots and select “Create cover art.”
-
Get to work: upload your own pics, play with text styles, try different colors, and of course — add your Summer Stickers.
-
Save and share your perfectly curated vibe with the world.
Pro Tip: If you want to make multiple covers for your playlist (hello, outfit changes for your playlist too?), you can duplicate the playlist and design away.
What’s even more iconic? Both Free and Premium users can access the tool, so no one’s left out of the fun. It’s all part of Spotify’s mission to let fans express themselves, not just through what they’re listening to — but how their playlists looktoo.
So whether you’re building your “Summer Fling Soundtrack,” “Road Trip Bops,” or “Pool Party Anthems 2025,” Spotify is giving your playlist cover art a much-needed aesthetic upgrade.
Bottom line? Your playlists deserve to look as good as your Instagram feed — and Spotify just delivered.
