APPLE MUSIC MOTION ARTWORK — FOR INDEPENDENT ARTISTS
MotionSleeve turns the cover you already have into Apple Music motion artwork — your art moves, your titles stay sharp, and the files pass spec the first time.
25% OFF YOUR FIRST PACK · 7 DAYS AFTER SIGNUP
Motion artwork is Apple's premium presentation layer — and it's where your release either looks major-label, or doesn't.
FULL-SCREEN
Motion artwork fills the album page and Now Playing screen on iPhone — fans see your cover move before they hear a single note.
MAJOR-LABEL COMPANY
The overwhelming majority of independent releases still ship static covers. A motion sleeve puts your release visually alongside the majors.
SPEC-PERFECT
Apple’s requirements are strict — exact resolutions, H.264, Rec.709, seamless loop, first frame matching your cover. We engineer every file to pass.
01
Drop in your finished square artwork — the same file you send to your distributor.
02
Titles and credits are lifted off the artwork so they stay razor-sharp while the art moves behind them.
03
Depth parallax or slow zoom. Animate the whole cover or just the part that should move. Preview everything free.
04
Two spec-perfect H.264 files — 3840×3840 and 2048×2732 — ready for your distributor. First frame is your exact cover.
Upload and preview free. A credit is only spent when your final files render — and it never expires.

Two MP4 files that meet every Apple Music motion-artwork requirement: 3840×3840 (1:1) and 2048×2732 (3:4), H.264, 24fps, Rec.709 color, 45–100 Mbps, seamless loop, no audio, first frame identical to your static cover. You submit them through your distributor like any other release asset.
Yes. Upload your cover and go through the whole flow free — see how the AI separates your artwork and set up the motion. You only pay when you render the final files.
No — that is the core of MotionSleeve. Your titles and credits are separated onto their own layer and stay pixel-crisp (or animate subtly if you choose) while only the artwork behind them moves.
About 8–10 minutes at full quality. You can leave the page and come back — your files will be waiting.
No. Buy a pack, use it whenever your next release is ready. Rendered files stay downloadable for 7 days; your account and credits never expire.
Some covers fuse text and art too tightly to split cleanly. You’ll see that before paying anything — and you can still create a subtle full-cover motion version that keeps your artwork untouched.
