For artists releasing on Spotify

A visualizer for your Spotify release

Spotify gives you one visual slot, the Canvas loop. Muzie gives your track a free 3D visualizer that fans open from a link, choreographed to the song, and a music video maker for the Canvas itself.

Visualizers are free for everyone. The Canvas comes from a music video, which is paid in tokens.

How it fits a Spotify release

Two visuals, two jobs. The visualizer for the full song, the Canvas for the loop on the track page.

Step 1

Upload the master

Add the same audio file you sent to your distributor. Muzie reads its tempo, beats, drops and sections.

Step 2

Pick a world

Space, Neon City, Abyss or Jungle, whichever matches the cover art and the mood of the record.

Step 3

Share the link around the release

Put it in your link in bio, post it with the pre-save, and send it to fans on release day. It plays in the browser.

Step 4

Make the Canvas separately

Spotify needs a 3 to 8 second vertical video for Canvas. Make a music video from a photo and the track, trim it to the loop and upload it in Spotify for Artists.

What a visualizer can and cannot do for Spotify

Straight answers, so you plan the release around what actually works.

Can: give fans the full song with visuals

The link opens the whole track as a 3D flight, which is something to post on release day that is more than the cover art.

Can: live in your link in bio

Your Spotify profile points fans to your socials, and your socials point to your link in bio. Put the visualizer there and it is one tap from the people already listening.

Can: carry the pre-save

Share the visualizer of a snippet or the full track while the pre-save runs, so the post has something moving in it.

Cannot: be uploaded as a Canvas

Canvas only takes short video files, and the visualizer does not export a video today. Use a music video for the Canvas.

Cannot: play inside the Spotify app

There is no way to attach a third party visualizer to a track on Spotify. Muzie also does not connect to Spotify or visualize what you are streaming: you upload the song file.

Can: sit alongside a music video

Many releases want both: a free visualizer for the full track and a singing music video for the feed and the Canvas.

The Canvas comes from a music video

Upload one photo and the track and Muzie makes a music video with that face singing it. Export portrait, trim the best 3 to 8 seconds, and upload it as your Canvas.

Spotify visualizer questions

What artists ask when they search for one.

Spotify does not let artists upload a visualizer to a track. The visual it supports is Canvas, a short looping vertical video that plays behind the song on mobile.

Upload the song to Muzie, pick a world, and you get a free 3D visualizer with its own link. Share that link from your link in bio, your social posts and the socials your Spotify profile points to.

No. Canvas needs a short video file and the visualizer plays live from a link rather than exporting a video. For the Canvas, make a music video and trim it to a 3 to 8 second loop.

People usually mean a looping visual for the Canvas slot. That has to be a short vertical video, so the honest route here is a music video trimmed to the loop, not the visualizer.

No. It does not read what you are playing on Spotify. You upload the audio file of your song, which is why it works for unreleased tracks too.

Yes. Visualizers are free for everyone and use no tokens. Music videos, which you would use for a Canvas, are paid in tokens.

Your link in bio, release day posts, the pre-save post, stories on the socials your Spotify profile links to, and direct messages to fans and playlist curators.

Yes. You upload the file yourself, so you can make the visualizer before release and share it as a teaser.

Not as an upload, because it is not a video file. You can post the link anywhere, and for YouTube itself make a music video in landscape.

Space for electronic and cinematic, Neon City for synthwave and night drive music, Abyss for ambient and chill, Jungle for warm and organic tracks. Any world works with any song.

Give the release something to watch

A free visualizer for the full song, and a music video for the Canvas. Start with the one that costs nothing.
