And now, this week's episode.
Speaker:
00:00:19
When it comes to podcast cover art,
Speaker:
00:00:25
there's a set design template you have to work to.
Speaker:
00:00:27
So, it's gotta be a square image,
Speaker:
00:00:29
a minimum 1400 pixels by 1400 pixels,
Speaker:
00:00:32
and a maximum 3000 by 3000 pixels,
Speaker:
00:00:35
a JPEG or a PNG image,
Speaker:
00:00:37
and less than 512 kilobytes in size.
Speaker:
00:00:39
These are the specs that Apple Podcasts require,
Speaker:
00:00:41
and pretty much every podcast app pulls from that design.
Speaker:
00:00:44
If you know Photoshop or something similar,
Speaker:
00:00:46
you can use that.
Speaker:
00:00:48
If you don't know Photoshop,
Speaker:
00:00:49
you could go to something like Fiverr,
Speaker:
00:00:50
and use a freelancer to create cover art for you.
Speaker:
00:00:53
However, there's another option that's really cool,
Speaker:
00:00:55
and that's Canva.
Speaker:
00:00:56
Canva's an online design platform,
Speaker:
00:00:58
and they've got a dedicated podcast template section
Speaker:
00:01:00
with almost 1,400 templates to choose from.
Speaker:
00:01:03
There's photos, images, logos, and more.
Speaker:
00:01:06
And the great thing with the Canva templates
Speaker:
00:01:07
is you can either use the default ones that they provide you
Speaker:
00:01:10
or use them as a starting point
Speaker:
00:01:11
and then add your own photographs,
Speaker:
00:01:13
logos, color, design, et cetera.
Speaker:
00:01:16
It's a really simple way to get great looking cover art,
Speaker:
00:01:18
and it's free.
Speaker:
00:01:19

Speaker:
00:01:24
and make your artwork really stand out.
Speaker:
00:01:26
Until the next time, happy podcasting.
