Why Does Spotify Not Let Me Change My Playlist Picture

If you see an error message when you try to change your playlist picture, like “you cannot save changes to a playlist, try again,” there are a number of potential issues you could be dealing with. Here are some fixes to try if you aren’t able to change your Spotify playlist cover picture on mobile:
Make sure you own the playlist. Did you create the playlist yourself? If you didn’t, you won’t be able to edit the cover photo. Try creating a brand new playlist using some or all of the same songs, and then set a custom cover image for the new playlist.
Make sure the resolution of the image isn’t too low. Use an image with a resolution of at least 300x300, and try again.
Try the desktop app or web player. If you are able to change Spotify playlist cover photos using the web player or the desktop app, that means there is a problem with the Spotify app on your device or a problem with the device itself.
Clear the app cache. Open the Spotify app, then tap the gear icon > Storage > Clear Cache. Restart the app, and see if you’re able to change playlist cover images.
Try a clean reinstall. There may be a cache issue preventing you from updating your playlists. Uninstall Spotify from your device, and reinstall it, then check to see if you are able to change playlist cover photos.
