Change low resolution cover

Hi,
in the past i added cover-arts with a resolution of 544x544.
I found this website https://covers.musichoarders.xyz/ and there i can find higher resolutions of the same covers.
I want to ask here what the right workflow is to replace the already uploaded cover-arts.
Example: Release “The Remixes (Vol.2)” by Tommee Profitt & Liv Ash - Cover art - MusicBrainz
I would “Remove” the old cover.

Edit note: “The cover is correct uploading higher resolution.”
and upload the higher resolution picture. With an

Is that ok or should i remove the lower resolution version another way?

Removing lower resolution covers in favor of better quality is ok, I would just make sure that the image you’re replacing with actually belongs to that particular release. A common mistake is to mix up covers where they’re mostly similar except for a tiny detail, like a label logo.
COV does have a “search by barcode” function that makes this process more accurate. You can also try MB: Enhanced Cover Art Uploads if the release has any of the common streaming URL relationships (spotify, apple music, deezer, etc.)

This particular release you linked could use a bit of a touch-up as well. It seems to be available on other sources with more details.
Not to mention it should be edited further to follow some MB style guidelines, like featured artists and remixes / Extra Title Information, but i’ll leave that up to you :smiley:

+1 to making sure it matches the release exactly (no AI upscaling/“improvements”, logos are the same etc)

I can highly recommend installing the “Enhanced Cover Art Uploads” userscript from here, it will make you like 10x easier on a lot of releases, and grab the max size cover: Guides/Userscripts - MusicBrainz Wiki
