Hi-Res Apple Music Artwork Shortcut

This shortcut for Apple Shortcuts (formerly Workflow) allows you to take any Apple Music URL and retrieve the highest resolution, uncompressed artwork available. Whether you’re setting up automations or simply want the best quality album art, this shortcut has you covered.

Supports:

• Albums
• Playlists
• Stations
• Artists
• Music Videos
• Curators

Included in your purchase are additional shortcuts which work with the share sheet for one-click downloading of artwork direct from Apple Music. There is also a user guide explaining more advanced options such as custom sizing and return of metadata.

This shortcut is provided by Ben Dodson, independent developer of tools such as the Apple Music Artwork Finder and iTunes Artwork Finder that have been providing high resolution imagery since 2013 ✨

⚠️ IMPORTANT ⚠️

This is a shortcut for the "Shortcuts" app available on iPhone, iPad, and Mac. It is not an app. If you do not have an iPhone, iPad, or Mac then this will not work for you. If you have never used the Shortcuts app before, I'd strongly suggest you take a look at Apple's User Guide to see if this is something you would use before purchasing. I've also put together a guide to the shortcut which you may find useful!

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is this a paid shortcut?

In order to access the highest quality artwork, a server component is necessary within the shortcut allowing me to fetch the artwork and make any fixes or improvements without issuing a new update. This online component costs me money to run, a cost that increases if the shortcut is used for heavy automations. I've tried to keep the cost as reasonable as possible and avoid any subscription pricing, etc.
