Spotify Canvas for type beats
Free Canvas makers already exist. The gap is type-beat-specific packaging: a loop that matches your YouTube / Shorts look and clears Spotify’s practical constraints.
Spec checklist (ship these)
Duration
3–8 seconds. Sweet spot often ~5s for seamless psychedelic motion.
Aspect
9:16 vertical — designed for the Now Playing canvas plane.
Resolution
1080×1920 (or platform-accepted equivalent that scales clean).
Codec / container
MP4 H.264. Keep it boring and compatible.
File size
Often target <8MB. Heavy grades / noise can blow the budget — design for weight.
Audio
No audio track preferred. Canvas is visual; leave the beat to Spotify playback.
Type-beat Canvas vs free tools
Local WebCodecs tools (e.g. spotifyedits.com) and audio-reactive viz (VibeMV class) own throwaway loops. We own the release: same footage language as your type-beat YouTube cut, title-safe psychedelic motion, seam that loops without a hitch.
Commercial psychedelic moment
Highway spiral Canvas — tunnel/highway clips bent into a 5s seamless 9:16. Acid motion, no gen-AI faces, under 8MB.
