Free tool
Album Art Finder
Search any album, artist or song and download its cover art in high resolution — up to 3000×3000 pixels, straight from Apple's iTunes artwork CDN. Free, no account, and nothing is uploaded to our servers.
Artwork is fetched directly from Apple's public iTunes Search API and downloaded straight from Apple's CDN to your device — nothing passes through our servers. Artwork remains the property of its rights holders; use it for your personal library.
How to use this album art finder
- Search for the album, artist or song name. Pick a different store country if the release is region-specific.
- Pick a size. 3000px is ideal for archiving and large displays; 600px is plenty for embedded tags.
- Download. The JPEG saves with a clean "Artist - Album (size)" filename, ready to embed with your tag editor — or with a player that writes tags, like Trove.
Where the album art comes from
This album art finder queries Apple's public iTunes Search API — the same catalog that powers the iTunes Store and Apple Music. Labels and distributors upload artwork at the highest resolution they have, and Apple's CDN can serve it at several sizes. The store listing you see in search results uses a small thumbnail; this tool rewrites that URL to request the 600, 1200 or 3000 pixel rendition instead, so you get the largest file the label actually supplied.
Because your browser talks to Apple directly, the search works for any of the ten store countries in the dropdown — useful when an album only exists in, say, the Japanese or German catalog, or when a regional pressing has different cover art than the US release.
Which size should you pick?
- 600×600 — plenty for artwork embedded in tags. Small file, loads fast on any device, and most players never display covers larger than this.
- 1200×1200 — the sweet spot for a NAS library you browse from a TV, an iPad or a CarPlay screen. Sharp on Retina displays without bloating your files.
- 3000×3000 — archival quality. Keep these as separate folder images (
cover.jpg) next to the album rather than embedding them in every track, or your library size will balloon.
Why high-resolution covers matter
Most rips and older downloads carry 300px covers that look blurry on a Retina display, a CarPlay screen or a TV. Replacing them with 1200px or 3000px art is the single quickest visual upgrade a local music library can get — and once the artwork is in your files or album folders, every player on every device benefits from it.
Album art FAQ
Quick answers about sources, sizes and usage.
Where does the album art come from?
From Apple's public iTunes Search API and artwork CDN — the same source the iTunes Store and Apple Music use. Your search goes directly from your browser to Apple; nothing passes through our servers.
Is this an iTunes artwork finder?
Yes — it searches the same iTunes catalog that classic iTunes artwork finder tools use, and adds three download sizes (600, 1200 and 3000 pixels), ten store countries, and clean 'Artist - Album' filenames. If you came looking for an iTunes artwork finder, this does that job.
What resolution can I download?
Up to 3000×3000 pixels when the label supplied art that large, which most modern releases do. The tool also offers 1200×1200 and 600×600 variants. If a size is unavailable, Apple's CDN returns the closest available version.
Is this album art finder free?
Yes, completely free — no account, no watermark, no limits. It's built by the team behind Trove Player, a local music player for Mac and iPhone.
Why can't I find a specific album?
The artwork must exist in Apple's catalog for the store country you selected. Try switching the country (a Japanese pressing may only exist in the Japan store) or searching by the artist name instead of the album title.
Can I use the artwork in my music library?
Downloading covers to tag your own rips and purchases is the classic personal use this tool is made for. The artwork itself remains the property of its rights holders — don't use it commercially.
How do I embed the downloaded cover into my music files?
Open your tag editor (Mp3tag, Kid3 or MusicBrainz Picard on desktop), select the album's tracks, and drop the downloaded JPEG onto the cover field. Alternatively, save it as cover.jpg or folder.jpg inside the album folder — most players, including Trove, pick folder images up automatically.
Is there a limit or a batch mode?
There is no daily limit — search and download as much as you like. Each search returns up to 30 albums or songs at once, and every result has its own download buttons, which covers most tagging sessions without a dedicated batch mode.
Your covers deserve a player that shows them off
Trove Player is a native local music player for Mac and iPhone — FLAC, ALAC and DSD, WebDAV/SMB streaming, synced lyrics, and your artwork in full resolution. Free, with a one-time Pro purchase.
