[All Platforms][Playlists] Upload GIFs as Playlist Covers

[victoriaannlee]

I think it would be really great if Spotify could allow GIFs to be uploaded as Spotify Playlist Covers - it would add a nice touch of personality to each playlist and make it pop even more! I really like the animated covers of some Spotify Playlists and it would be really cool if we could do something similar with our playlists

This idea has been submitted a few times before but I genuinely love the idea and think it deserves another shot at voting and I hope it gets enough votes this time! 🙂

This would be brilliant!

However, I can imagine it becoming a low-quality fest of flashing images to completely throw off the user-experience. So maybe limited usage or guidelines?

This would help to add that extra stylization and personality to your playlists! 🙂

It would be super cool if users could upload GIF playlist covers. I've really been loving the animated covers of Spotify generated playlists and it would neat to be able to personalize some of my own. 

This idea has been submitted before (see below), but those ideas are now closed. I think this deserves another chance to get enough votes.

In order to keep the Ideas Exchange clearer I'll close this idea for now, but this doesn't mean Spotify rejected this idea.

For a while, I've had an idea for a playlist of a couple certain genres, because of a particular gif file.
