Podcast Cover Art Generator

Podcast cover art is the square thumbnail that represents your show everywhere it is listed, from Apple Podcasts and Spotify to your own hosted website. It is the single most visible piece of podcast artwork you will create, because it shows up next to your title in search results, charts, and a listener's library. A clear, well-designed podcast cover earns taps. A cluttered one gets scrolled past.

Before you design, know the specs. A podcast cover must be a square image between 1400x1400 px and 3000x3000 px, and 3000x3000 px is recommended so it stays sharp on every screen size. Save it as a JPG or PNG in the RGB color space at 72 dpi, and keep the file under roughly 512 KB for Apple Podcasts. Because most listeners first see your cover as a tiny thumbnail, set your podcast title in large, legible type and lean on bold colors and a single focal image rather than fine detail.

The fastest way to make podcast cover art is to describe your show in the free generator above, or paste an existing show URL so the AI can match your title and tone. It produces a directory-ready square cover in seconds, and you can regenerate until the design fits. Pair a strong cover with a name that reads well at thumbnail size using our free podcast name generator, then turn any topic into a full episode with the AI podcast generator. When you are ready to go live, Jellypod includes free podcast hosting that distributes your show, and its cover, to every major platform.
