Spotify Canvas loops between 3 and 8 seconds. 8 seconds is the maximum. And usually the best choice, giving enough time for the visual to build and create atmosphere before cycling. MixMasterAI auto-detects the best 8-second moment and builds a seamless loop with visual crossfade.

8-Second Loop Canvas. Common Questions
Why is 8 seconds the maximum Spotify Canvas length?
Spotify chose the 3 to 8 second range to keep canvas files small (under 30 MB) and load quickly on mobile data. 8 seconds is enough to communicate a visual mood before the loop restarts.
How does the auto-hook detection work?
The tool analyzes audio energy level at every possible 8-second starting point in your track. It selects the segment with the highest average energy. Usually the chorus, drop, or most intense moment.
What makes a Spotify Canvas loop 'seamless'?
A seamless loop connects the last frame back to the first frame so smoothly that viewers can't see the restart point. MixMasterAI applies a visual crossfade in the final 0.5 seconds of the canvas to achieve this.
