Podcast Cover Maker
Build a 3000×3000 show cover — Apple Podcasts and Spotify both require this size for the sharpest display.
Format
3000×3000 isn't a suggestion so much as a hard requirement — Apple Podcasts rejects artwork below that size at submission, and Spotify displays a soft, upscaled version of anything smaller, which reads as blurry next to competing shows in a browse list.
- •Since this cover shows up as a tiny square icon in most listening contexts, not just the full episode page, keep the show's name and any key visual element legible even scaled down to icon size, not just at full resolution.
- •A show name baked directly into the artwork is worth including even though the name also displays as text elsewhere — icon-size browsing in some apps shows the artwork alone before the title loads in.
