The SoundCloud Profile Banner size (2480×520px)
SoundCloud's profile banner is the wide header artists use to brand their page, and 2480x520 is the recommended size for a crisp, full-width header. The banner is extremely wide relative to its height, an ultra-wide strip, because SoundCloud stretches it across the top of your profile behind your avatar and name, so it functions more like an atmospheric backdrop than a detailed image.
That ultra-wide shape means SoundCloud crops the top and bottom differently across screen sizes, and on mobile the visible portion narrows further. Your profile picture and display name overlay the banner, typically toward the left, so the reliable approach is to keep any text or logo centered and treat the outer thirds and the top and bottom edges as safe-to-lose space. A textured, atmospheric image or a subtle gradient tends to survive the cropping far better than a precisely composed graphic.
For musicians and producers, the banner is a chance to reinforce the mood of your sound, matching cover art, colors, and vibe so the whole profile feels like one release. Exporting at the full 2480x520 keeps the header sharp on wide desktop displays where fans discover and follow you. Everything here resizes 100% in your browser with no upload and for free, so your artwork stays private on your device. SoundCloud adjusts its banner sizing and how the header crops over time, so verify the current spec before finalizing your artist page.
