Wether you’ve decided to collaborate with me on your animated cover, it’s important to ensure that it meets Tidal’s technical requirements. To do so, follow these steps:

1. Video Duration: Tidal supports animated album covers with a duration of up to 10 seconds. Make sure your animation falls within this time frame or your animation might not be approved on the platform.

2. File Size: Animated album covers with Tidal’s 1 : 1 aspect ratio should be no larger than 8 MB. Certify that your animated album file size is optimized without compromising the quality of your design.

2. File Type: Animated albums are nothing more than video files produced in a loop, meaning they will never end (infinitely). Usually, we are talking about *.MP4 files encoded with the H264 encoder, which is an advanced video compression (known as “AVC”) standard used in MPEG-4 video files that provides good video quality at considerably lower bitrates when compared to its predecessors.

3. Video Aspect Ratio: Tidal requires a minimum resolution of 1280 x 1280 pixels for animated album covers. Ensure your animation adheres to this aspect ratio to avoid distortion.

Step 3:
