Change folder artwork

Folder artwork is the visual cover for a folder. It does not change artwork on the files inside it.
You can change artwork only for folders you own. My Library does not have artwork.

Open an owned folder, then click its artwork in the header or Details panel.
Choose an image from your library, crop it to a square, then save.
If the folder has custom artwork, choose Remove to return to its default folder artwork.

Open an owned online folder and tap its artwork.
Choose Photo Library or Take Photo. Move and scale the image in the square crop, then save.

Use a JPEG, PNG, or WebP image up to 30 MB.
Changing or removing folder artwork does not delete the original image from your device.
Visitors cannot change folder artwork from a shared link.

If artwork will not save, use a JPEG, PNG, or WebP image within 30 MB and confirm that you own the folder.

Choose how artwork is assigned to uploads

Choose whether new audio matches its folder's artwork or gets different artwork per file — one setting, shared across Web and iPhone.

Understand file and folder artwork

How artwork works — custom images, defaults, Apply Folder Artwork, and the upload rule that decides what new audio inherits.

Customize a folder's appearance

Choose the header and background style for an owned folder — the effects available depend on your surface.
