Your podcast cover is a visual representation of your show. It’s going to appear in podcast directories, on the embeddable players, and on your podcast website.
Podcast Info #

Best Practices #
File Types: Save your cover as a JPEG or PNG file
Shape: Ensure your podcast is square.
Size: You want to have a cover no smaller than 1400 x 1400 pixels and no larger than 3000 x 3000 pixels. We have a 2MB upload limit and suggest you save your file as a JPEG with the dimensions 1400 x 1400 pixels.
Pro Tips! #
Make sure your cover clearly conveys your brand by displaying your logo and/or podcast show name.
Avoid adding unnecessary text that will clutter the cover.
Apple recommends: Avoid putting important artwork elements at the bottom fifth of your image as they may be obscured by play progress, labels, or subscription offerings.
