Frequently asked questions
What size should my podcast cover art be?
Apple Podcasts requires artwork between 1400 × 1400 and 3000 × 3000 pixels. Spotify recommends 3000 × 3000. The image must be square (equal width and height). We recommend 3000 × 3000 for maximum quality across all platforms and device sizes.
Why does my podcast artwork need to be square?
All major podcast directories (Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcasts) display artwork as squares. Non-square images will be cropped or distorted, cutting off parts of your design. Always design your cover art at a 1:1 aspect ratio.
What file format should my podcast artwork be?
Apple Podcasts and Spotify both accept JPEG and PNG formats. JPEG is best for photographic artwork (smaller file size), while PNG is better for illustrations with text or transparency. Avoid GIF, WebP, BMP, and SVG. Keep file size under 512 KB for fast loading.
