Size of album artwork in Music app on Mac (Big Sur)

I play my music from the Albums section in the Music app on my Mac (Big Sur).


The album artwork size is really too big, I have only 6 albums per row. I would like to reduce the artwork size. In iTunes this was possible. Please let me know if this is also possible in the Music app on my Mac.


Many thanks in advance for your help.


Kind regards.

Mac mini 2018 or later

Hi Patrick6767,

Thanks for reaching out using Apple Support Communities. Here to help.

We understand you are inquiring if there is a way to resize the album art in album view of your library in the Music app on Mac.

It seems like the size of the album art adapts to the size of the application window, displaying up to six albums per row as you described. This currently appears to be expected behavior and there does not appear to be a setting to adjust this.


We would suggest submitting feedback to Apple at the link below

You can also try using different library view options, such as Songs or Artist. In each mode, you can use the View menu to see any customization options.


Hope this helps! Take care.

Hi Karina, thanks for your reaction.


Unfortunately, apparently there is no option to reduce the artwork size. In the full screen window, I had a view of 36 albums in iTunes (4 rows x 9 albums). Now in the Music app, this has been reduced to ‘only’ 18 albums in the full screen window (3 rows x 6 albums). So I have to scroll a lot to go through my albums… I will submit my feedback to Apple.


Kind regards.
