Free podcast cover maker
Podcast apps show your cover at tiny sizes. Design square artwork in PictorX with a strong title treatment and simple imagery that still pops as a thumbnail.
How it works
- Create a square canvas (1400×1400 or larger recommended).
- Add show title, optional host photo cutout, and a simple background.
- Export a sharp square image for podcast hosting platforms.
Cover art requirements
Most hosts want square JPEG/PNG at least 1400×1400. Keep the show name large, avoid thin scripts, and test readability at about 100 pixels wide—the size listeners often see in apps.
Brand a whole show
Match cover colors to episode YouTube thumbnails and audiogram graphics. Reuse templates so seasonal artwork stays on-brand when guests or themes change.
Frequently asked questions
Can I update cover art later?
Yes. Keep an editable PictorX file and export a new square image whenever the show brand evolves.
What size should podcast cover art be?
Most hosts want a square JPEG or PNG at least 1400×1400. Design larger if you like, and test readability at about 100 pixels wide.
Can I put my face on the cover?
Yes. Cut out a host photo, keep the show name large, and avoid thin scripts that disappear in podcast apps.
Can the cover match my YouTube thumbnails?
Yes. Reuse the same colors, type, and cutout style so episode videos and the show art feel like one brand.
