How to add cover art to a song in VKontakte?

A cover for a playlist on VK is not needed if the user who created the album is going to listen to it on their own. If he is going to share music with family and friends, or even plans to talk about his own musical tastes and preferences of a huge army of subscribers or members of a group (community), he cannot do without a stylish, beautiful design. At the same time, the creators of the album will have to think about:

the name of the album (a mandatory item that cannot be avoided);
a description of the selection that is allowed to be skipped;
cover added at the personal request of the author.

That is, out of 3 points, only one is mandatory, but it will not be possible to do without the third if the user expects to design the tracklist beautifully. The selected picture will become the face of the music collection, by which the content and quality of the collected playlist will be judged.

Peculiarities

Playlist cover ideas

The next question that needs to be sorted out concerns the choice of image that is best to put on the cover of a playlist on VK. But in this case, it is pointless to give any recommendations, since the topics of the collections can be very diverse and unexpected. The main thing is that the selected picture does not violate the community rules and copyrights of its creator and is not offensive to others.

But, if we focus on the basic rules and tips for choosing the optimal image, we should recommend that:

the phenomenon depicted in the background (event, object, person) corresponded to the collected tracks;
if a selection of audio is associated with a certain group, it is logical to choose the logo of the songwriter; if a certain album is used, it is logical to use the album cover or single;
It is desirable that the miniature is clearly visible and the image quality does not deteriorate;
You can use a still from the video to compile music from the film.

But in general, the final decision depends only on the desires and imagination of the author of the tracklist.
