Podcast Cover Art FAQs
Why is podcast cover art so important?
Podcast cover art is the first thing potential listeners see when browsing directories. A strong, well-designed cover can attract more listeners and convey professionalism, while a poor design may cause them to overlook your podcast.
What if I already have a podcast? Can I use the generator?
Yes! If you already have a podcast, you can give us your show url and we'll use your existing show information to generate new cover art for you.
Can each of my podcast episodes have a different cover art?
Absolutely! It's recommended to have a unique cover for each episode that is consistent with your show's branding. Our generator will reference your existing show information, and podcast series cover art, to create a unique cover for your episode, while still being consistent with your overall branding.
What if I don't have a podcast?
If you don't have a podcast, that's okay! Jellypod is an AI Podcast Studio, so you can create your very own podcast (with cover art) directly on our platform using AI. You'll be able to design your virtual hosts, edit the script, and publish directly to Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and more.
Is it okay to have AI generate cover art for my podcast?
Yes! It's completely fine (and even encouraged) to leverage an AI tool to generate a cover for your podcast! Our generator was built to create high-quality, professional-looking cover art that follows all the best practices for podcast cover art.
What are the essential specifications for podcast cover art?
Different platforms have specific requirements, but a general rule of thumb is that your images should be 3000x3000 px, either JPG or PNG, 72 dpi, RGB color space. Following these specs ensures your artwork looks clear and professional on all platforms.
How can I make my podcast cover stand out?
Use bold, contrasting colors, clear typography, and imagery that represents your podcast's theme. Avoid clutter and overcomplicated designs—simple and striking visuals work best.
Should I include text in my podcast cover?
Yes, but keep it minimal—your podcast title and possibly a short tagline. Make sure the font is large enough to be readable even at small sizes.
What mistakes should I avoid in my podcast cover design?
Avoid using generic visuals like microphones or headphones (unless they directly relate to your show), overcrowding the design with too much text or imagery, ignoring platform size requirements (leading to poor cropping or pixelation), and using low-contrast colors that make the text hard to read.
Do I need to hire a designer, or can I make cover art myself?
While a professional designer can help you achieve a polished look, many DIY tools (like our podcast cover generator) allow you to create high-quality designs with just a few clicks. Other options include Canva, Figma, and Adobe Spark.
How can I ensure my cover art looks good on mobile devices?
Since most listeners browse podcasts on their phones, test your cover art on a small screen. If you use our generator, we'll automatically leverage all the best practices for podcast cover art, such as keeping the design simple, avoiding small details, and ensuring text remains readable at a thumbnail size.
How can branding improve my podcast cover art?
If your podcast is tied to a brand, use consistent colors, fonts, and logos. If your podcast is your brand, make your cover visually distinctive and memorable to build recognition.
What role does color psychology play in podcast cover art?
Colors evoke emotions—blue can convey trust, red signals energy, yellow feels optimistic, and black gives a premium feel. Choose colors that match the tone of your podcast to attract the right audience.
