Your release kit, made from your song. Not from a blank page.
Canva lets you design anything, one design at a time. Music24 knows your song and makes the cover sizes, stories, posts, Canvas loop and videos in one look, then adds the SmartLink, the pre-save and a plan for release week. Start free, with no card.
Choose Music24 if…
- You want every asset for your release made from your song, in the sizes each platform asks for.
- You want a Canvas loop, short videos and AI reels without learning a video editor.
- You want the link, the pre-save and your playlist numbers in the same place as your visuals.
Choose Canva if…
- You want to design every detail yourself, with any layout and any font.
- You also need tour posters, merch, flyers, press kits or a website.
- Your team or label shares brand kits and approvals across many projects.
One place for the whole release.
- The whole release kit in one go
Add your song and get cover art in every store size, stories, feed posts, a lyric card, banners, a YouTube thumbnail and a link preview in one look. In Canva, each one is a separate design.
- Platform rules built in
The Canvas loop follows the Spotify rules: 9:16, 3 to 8 seconds, no audio, no text. The cover carries no extra text that distributors refuse. Canva has no Canvas preset.
- Videos with your own music
Short videos and AI reels use your own master, not stock music with licence limits. Lyric videos, visualizers and music videos of the full song come with Music24 Pro.
- Fans find the song, and you see what worked
A SmartLink and a pre-save on Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music, Tidal, Deezer and Amazon Music, a dated plan for release week, and your clicks and playlist adds afterwards.
What each one does for an independent artist.

Where Canva is better.
If these points matter most to you, Canva can be the better choice.
- Design anything you can imagine
Any layout, any font, any format, with 3.6M+ templates and 141M+ stock items on Pro. Music24 renders from set themes.
- Everything beyond the release
Tour posters, merch, press kits, flyers, presentations, websites and print orders.
- A mature editor with a large free plan
Background remover, Magic Edit and Magic Expand on Pro, and a free plan with 1.6M+ templates.
- Cheaper for design alone
Canva Pro costs US$144 a year. If you only need designs, not links, pre-saves or music data, that is less than Music24 Artist.
