How the SoundCloud Cover Art Downloader works
1. Paste a SoundCloud link
The address is checked against SoundCloud's own domains before anything is requested.
2. Public metadata is read
Our server asks SoundCloud's public metadata service which images exist, then loads and measures each one.
3. Download
Save the size you need, copy its URL, or download every size as a ZIP.
Supported input
- soundcloud.com/artist/track-name
- soundcloud.com/artist/sets/playlist-name
- soundcloud.com/artist (profile picture)
Limitations
- Private tracks and tracks shared by a secret link cannot be read.
- A track without its own artwork shows the uploader's profile picture, which is how SoundCloud publishes it.
- Sizes larger than the original upload are removed, because they would be upscales.
How your data is handled. The link you enter is sent to A2Z.Tools so our server can read the platform's public metadata and check each image. We do not store the link, and our analytics record only the platform, how many images were found and any error code. Images are downloaded through a short-lived link that stops working after about 30 minutes.

What the SoundCloud Cover Art Downloader does
SoundCloud stores the artwork an artist uploads and serves it under several size names. This tool reads a track, playlist or profile through SoundCloud’s public oEmbed service, works out which artwork file belongs to it, and offers the sizes that really exist — each loaded and measured. It is useful for independent artists and labels who need their own artwork back, curators preparing playlist pages, and podcasters checking cover quality.
Supported SoundCloud links
- Tracks: soundcloud.com/artist/track-name
- Playlists and albums (sets): soundcloud.com/artist/sets/playlist-name
- Profiles: soundcloud.com/artist – returns the profile picture
- The same addresses on www.soundcloud.com and m.soundcloud.com
Site pages such as discover, stream, upload or search, and profile sub-pages like likes, reposts, tracks or albums, are not treated as artwork links.
What you get
- Track artwork (original upload) – the file as uploaded, where SoundCloud keeps one
- 500 × 500 – the size SoundCloud shows on track pages
- 300 × 300 – a medium copy
- 100 × 100 – the small list thumbnail
The same labels read Playlist artwork or Profile picture depending on the link. If the uploaded original is smaller than 500 pixels, the 500 × 500 copy would only be an enlargement, so any size larger than the original is removed.
Common uses
- Recovering the full-size artwork of your own release after losing the source file
- Checking whether an upload kept its original resolution or was saved small
- Using a set’s cover as a reference when designing matching social graphics for your label
- Archiving the artwork of your own tracks and playlists
Limitations
- Private tracks and tracks shared through a secret link cannot be read.
- A track without its own artwork shows the uploader’s profile picture, because that is how SoundCloud publishes it.
- Removed tracks return an error.

Frequently asked questions
Can I get SoundCloud artwork larger than 500 x 500?
Where SoundCloud keeps the original uploaded file, the tool offers it at its real size, which can be larger than 500 × 500. If no larger original exists, 500 × 500 or smaller is the largest real image.
Why did I get a profile picture instead of track artwork?
When a track has no artwork of its own, SoundCloud publishes the uploader’s profile picture in its place, and the tool shows what SoundCloud returns.
Why is the 500 x 500 size missing?
If the original upload is smaller than 500 pixels wide, the 500 × 500 version would be an upscale. The tool removes any size larger than the original.
Does it work with private or secret-link tracks?
No. SoundCloud’s public oEmbed service does not publish those, and the tool does not try to bypass sharing settings.
Does the tool download the audio?
No. It reads artwork images only. The audio stream is never requested.
