Frequently Asked Questions
What size should podcast cover art be?
Apple and Spotify ask for 3000×3000 pixels (minimum 1400×1400), square, JPG or PNG. This maker outputs square 1:1 art you can export at spec.
What makes podcast cover art effective?
It has to work at 64 pixels — the size it appears in most app lists. That means one focal point, maximum-contrast colors, and a title in heavy type. Decorative detail disappears at that size.
Should my face be on the cover?
If you are the brand, yes — host-fronted shows convert better when the face is recognizable. Upload a selfie and the face reference feature keeps your identity.
Can I make covers for each season or episode?
Yes — keep the same preset and swap the accent color or subtitle per season; the style stays consistent.
Does text belong on podcast covers?
Yes, but only the title or a 2-3 word hook. Platforms already show your show name next to the art, so avoid cramming taglines.
Is this affiliated with Spotify or Apple?
No — Thumbcanvas is an independent tool that outputs art in the dimensions those platforms recommend.
How many free covers do I get?
10 welcome credits on signup, plus 10 bonus credits after your first generation — about 10 covers free, no card required.
