Every service DistroKid delivers to has specific guidelines for how releases are formatted, and what kind of content they'll accept.

If you were notified that your upload to DistroKid was rejected, you'll likely need to delete and re-upload your release in order to fix what was flagged during the review process. Details on the rejection will be included in the email you received.

Note that deletion and re-upload is not necessary if services require verification for your upload, or if your artwork was rejected. If this is the case for your upload, you can take action to get your release delivered without having to delete and re-upload it.

Release Rejected for Verification

If you receive a verification request for your upload, please do not delete it. For more information on how to verify an artist name on DistroKid, click here.

Release Rejected for an Artwork Issue

If your release was rejected for an artwork issue, you can also replace the artwork on an existing release to make corrections. On your album page, click "Replace Artwork" on the right side of the Artwork section to update your album artwork.
