How to Upload Suno Songs to Spotify (Step by Step)
You made a song in Suno that you actually love, and now you want it on Spotify. Good news: this is way easier than most people think, and your song can be live in as little as 24 hours. Here's the whole process.
Step 1: Download the WAV
Go to the three dots on your song and download it as a WAV file, not an MP3. WAVs are the highest quality Suno gives you, and streaming platforms deserve the good version.
Step 2: Master it (optional but worth it)
If the song is just for you and your friends, like "look, this shit's on Spotify, isn't that cool," you can skip this step entirely. But if you're going the more professional route, get the track mastered. Mastering makes your song louder and fuller so it doesn't sound thin next to the commercial tracks in someone's playlist.
A bunch of sites do AI mastering, like LANDR and eMastered. I master my own stuff using my 13 years of production experience, and the difference between the original and the master is night and day: the original sounds quiet, the master sounds like a record.
Step 3: Cover art
You need cover art at 3000 by 3000 pixels, saved as a JPEG. Generate something, design something, throw a duck on a throne, whatever represents your art. Just hit that size.
Step 4: Pick a distributor
You can't upload directly to Spotify. You go through a music distributor: a service where you upload your song once and they handle getting it onto Spotify, Apple Music, and basically every streaming platform on the globe. The one I've used for a long time is DistroKid (that's my affiliate link, so your boy gets paid if you sign up through it).
The upload flow is really simple: click Upload Music, pick which stores you want (they pre-check basically everything), tell it how many songs (one for a single, more for an album), and set your artist name. Here's a cool part: the first time you release under a new artist name, a Spotify artist profile gets created for it automatically. Set a release date (today works, and I've had songs go live in about 24 hours), optionally name a record label (mine was set to "gluten free tortillas" for a while), upload your cover art and audio file, and give it your song title.
Step 5: The AI question (just be honest)
This is the part people stress about. DistroKid asks: does this song include AI generated music, vocals, or lyrics? Click yes, because it does. Then it asks which parts:
- Made entirely in Suno? Select "all of the audio." That's most people reading this, and it's completely fine.
- You wrote the lyrics yourself? Leave the lyrics box unchecked.
- You made the instrumental and Suno did the vocals (or the other way around)? Select just the parts that were AI.
- You wrote most of the lyrics and Suno helped a little? There's no co-write option, so I'd just say you wrote them. I wouldn't worry about that one too much.
The whole rule is just be honest. It's really that simple.
Step 6: Skip the upsells, hit done
At the end, DistroKid offers a pile of optional extras they call awesome and I call expensive and annoying. Skip them. Check the required boxes, hit done, and your song is on its way to every streaming platform in the world.
Before you upload, make it worth uploading
The uploading part is easy. The song being good enough that strangers add it to playlists, that's the real work, and it starts with the prompt. SUNO GPT turns the sound in your head into a full Suno prompt (first 10 free), and the 10,000 SUNO Prompts eBook covers 200 genres of ready-to-paste prompts. Make something you're proud of first, then come back to this checklist.
