Add cover art to your SoundCloud release
Prepare a square cover to SoundCloud’s size rules, drag it onto the cover box, or keep Rollout’s auto placeholder. Rollout does not auto-resize your image.
Every SoundCloud release gets artwork. Bring your own square image, or let Rollout generate a clean placeholder so a track is never blocked for missing art.
SoundCloud size rules (prepare before upload)
- Square — SC shows covers as a square; crop so the art fills the frame.
- Recommended 3000×3000 px (minimum about 500×500). PNG or JPG.
- Rollout does not auto-resize or re-crop your file — prepare the square yourself so it looks right on SoundCloud.
Use your own artwork
- Click your song in the queue to open details (cover box is on the left).
- Drag the image onto the square cover box — or click the box to choose a file.
- It saves right away. Drop a new image anytime to replace it (before or after publishing to SoundCloud; swapping after publish updates what Rollout stores for re-use / social, and you may still update art on SC depending on your workflow).
No artwork? No problem
If you don't add a cover, Rollout automatically generates a clean placeholder so publish is never blocked for missing art. Swap in real art when you have it.
The cover box is only for images. Audio goes through + Add track at the top of the queue.
