How to design podcast cover art
Your podcast artwork is the first impression listeners get in Apple Podcasts and Spotify. It has to be clear at postage‑stamp size, but still feel distinct full‑screen.
1. The Standards
Most platforms expect a square image at 3000×3000 pixels, exported in sRGB as a compressed JPG. This ensures high quality on Retina displays while keeping file sizes streamlined for mobile.
2. Legibility First
When artwork shrinks to 64 pixels wide, thin letterforms disappear. Lean on bold weights, high contrast, and simple geometry. Your title should be unmistakable even at a glance.
3. Text vs. Graphics
Podcast specific "logos" are usually text-forward. You can include a photo—portraits work well—but the layout should ensure the text remains the hero. This blend performs best in directories.
FAQ
Does it work on mobile?
Yes. The editor runs in the browser and supports touch for sliders and basic interactions. For precise photo positioning, a trackpad or mouse is more comfortable.
What file format does it export?
A compressed JPG optimized for podcast directories. The export is 3000×3000 pixels in sRGB. PNG support may be added later.
Can I design other graphics?
No. This tool focuses exclusively on podcast cover art and podcast logos so the workflow stays fast and uncluttered.
How can I keep text readable on tiny thumbnails?
Use short titles, avoid thin fonts, and keep strong contrast between background and type. The templates and safe margin overlay are tuned for this.
