Your podcast must have a unique program (show) title.

More importantly, a larger image does not enhance your ability to be discovered, improve your search ranking, or improve how your podcast is listened to. Making the artwork optimal for viewing when resized to a very small image is optimal. Podcast artwork image is resized to smaller thumbnail views for use in apps for various screens for search and playback. The 1,400 x 1,400 image size is the optimal image size that is compatible with all podcast applications and podcast directories. In all other cases, converting the png to a jpg will result in much smaller file size as well as saving the image in a screen viewing optimized format. As a rule of thumb, if the image has minimal solid colors, such as a company logo, saving it as a PNG is acceptable. Typically an image with many colors, fades, or photos are inappropriately saved as a PNG. PNG images that are not saved in the appropriate RGB color space will not be accepted by Apple. PNG images specifically must be saved in RGB color space (viewable in browsers), not the default CMYK color space (viewable but intended for print).

This size and format maximizes your exposure for both Apple as well as with Google, Blubrry Podcast Directory, Spotify, Pandora, Deezer, IHeartRadio, and podcast apps.Īpple specifications allow for an image in jpg or png format with a size of at least 1,400 x 1,400 or as large as 3,000 x 3,000. Your podcast artwork should be a square 1400 x 1400 image in jpg format. Podcast Artwork Meets Apple Podcasts Submission Requirements
