## What is Playlist Shelf?

Your playlists sound great. Now make them look great too.

Playlist Shelf turns any Apple Music or Spotify playlist into custom cover art in about a minute. No design skills, no complicated tools. Then every cover you make goes on your own record shelf, ready to play on a turntable.

WHAT MAKES PLAYLIST SHELF DIFFERENT
Depth Effect: lift the subject out of any photo so your title sits behind them, like a real album sleeve. Processed entirely on your device.
The Shelf: every cover you make lines up as a vinyl spine on a walnut and linen record shelf. Arrange it your way and pin favorites face-out.
The Turntable: tap a cover and it plays on a satin silver turntable. The record spins, the tonearm drops onto the groove, and the playlist's albums wait below. Hold an album to lift it out of its sleeve and onto the platter.
Your own music: import audio files from the Files app, build local playlists and play them on the turntable, no streaming subscription needed.
Collections: new template drops every month, so the gallery never goes stale.
Featured Artists: pull artist photography from Apple Music straight into the editor.

HOW IT WORKS
1. Connect your music: sign in with Apple Music to browse your library, or start a design for a Spotify or standalone playlist.
2. Pick a playlist: choose the one you want to restyle.
3. Choose a template: 75 curated designs across Genres, Decades, Visuals, Activities and more, plus every monthly Collection drop.
4. Make it yours: edit text, swap fonts and colors, rotate and layer, add effects, drop in a photo background and dial in blur, dim and crop.
5. Save and apply: export at full 3000×3000 resolution and set it as your playlist artwork.
6. Shelve it and play it: your cover joins your shelf. Tap it to play the playlist on the turntable.

WHAT YOU GET
• 75 curated templates with fresh designs for every genre and mood
• Millions of free photos: search or browse curated categories (Nature, Abstract, 3D Renders, Wallpapers) right from the Gallery, powered by Unsplash. Free for everyone.
• Import your own photos with blur, dim and crop controls
• A powerful text editor: 18 typefaces, colors, rotation, text backgrounds, alignment and 11 text effects, from shadow, outline, neon, emboss and glow to metallic, retro 3D and glitch
• Text layouts that stack, wave, repeat or arc your title
• Your Shelf: a growing record shelf of everything you've made, with decorations like plants, lamps and a record crate
• A turntable for Apple Music playlists and your own audio, with shuffle, repeat and a record you can tint to match the cover
• The Midnight Turntable Home Screen widget: your latest cover on a vinyl record, with play and pause right on your Home Screen
• High-resolution export (3000×3000), pixel-perfect on any screen
• Made for iPhone and iPad
• No account, no sign-up. Your designs, photos and music stay on your device.

• A FRESH APP ICON
A new look for Cover Canvas on your Home Screen.

### 1.0.6 — 2026-09-26

Jacket is now Cover Canvas.

Same app, same designs, same Shelf — new name. Everything you've made is exactly where you left it.

NOW ON IPAD
Cover Canvas is a native iPad app. Edit in any orientation, with a sidebar for getting around and a dedicated tool inspector beside a much larger canvas. Resize the window and the layout follows.

FEATURED ARTISTS, SIMPLIFIED
Tap an artist and land straight in the editor with their photo already in place — no extra picker in between. The first three artists are free.

A CLEARER UPGRADE SCREEN
Pro now has a single upgrade screen with monthly and yearly plans, and it opens the same way from everywhere in the app.

FIXES
• Your subscription status no longer resets after a dropped connection
• Titles, buttons and grids no longer stretch or clip on larger screens
• Layout fixes across onboarding, the export sheet and the Shelf

### 1.0.5 — 2026-09-04

NEW: PREMIUM FONTS

Your cover art now has more ways to express its sound. This update introduces a curated collection of premium fonts, available to Pro members directly in the editor.

Browse new type styles, preview them on your artwork, and find the perfect look for every playlist—from clean and modern to bold and editorial.

Thanks for creating with Jacket.

### 1.0.4 — 2026-08-06

THE SHELF
Every cover you make now lines up as a vinyl spine on your own record shelf. Pin favorites face-out, tap one to spin it on the in-app turntable, and tuck the rest away in the Storage Crate.

DEPTH EFFECT
Lift the subject out of any photo so your title sits behind them — the layered look of a real album sleeve, in one tap.

COLLECTIONS
A new themed template drop lands in the gallery every month. No app update needed.


FIXED
• Covers made without a playlist no longer save as "My Cover" — they take their name from the artwork
• Fewer stalls loading featured artist images

Jacket now requires iOS 26. Building on the latest system frameworks is what lets features like the Shelf and Depth Effect feel native, and it keeps the app leaner going forward.
