Podcast Posters

What size should podcast cover art be?

Design at 3000×3000 pixels (1:1 square) at 72 DPI for best quality across all platforms. Minimum accepted size is 1400×1400 pixels. Ensure your design is readable at small sizes—it will appear as tiny as 50×50 pixels in some podcast apps.

What should I avoid in podcast cover design?

Skip microphone and headphone imagery unless your show is about podcasting itself—the medium isn't your subject. Avoid cluttered designs with too much text; limit yourself to 7 words maximum. Ensure text is readable at thumbnail size.

What makes podcast covers effective?

Clear, bold imagery that hints at your show's topic. Readable typography even at small sizes. Consistent style that builds brand recognition across episodes. Colors that stand out in podcast directory grids. Your cover should communicate what the show offers.

Can AI help create podcast artwork?

Yes. AI generators offer podcast cover templates with appropriate sizing and typography. They can create custom illustrations matching your show's theme. Design multiple cover options quickly and A/B test which performs better for listener conversion.
