Bring the essentials
- Show title
- Host name if needed
- Visual tone
Choose a visual direction and adapt the description before generating. Turn on optional design refinement if you want help with composition, colors or layout. Keep your facts and exact wording in the brief.
Choose what should stay recognizable
Show covers appear at many sizes. Prioritize the show name and one image or graphic idea. A host name may help, but a paragraph of description belongs in the listing rather than the artwork.
Prepare for the publishing platform
Check the exported dimensions, format and background against the platform's current requirements. Keep important words inside the safe area so playback controls and crops do not cover them.

Small Hours podcast cover
Original AI-generated example.
See the exact prompt
Design one highly distinctive square 1:1 podcast cover for a fictional interview show. Exact text only: 'SMALL HOURS' and 'WITH JUNE PARK'. The large title fills most of the square with beautifully balanced custom-feeling cream letterforms on a deep ink-blue background. A warm burnt-orange circle resembling a late-night desk lamp glow peeks between the letters; a thin winding cream line suggests a conversation connecting two tiny stars. Sophisticated editorial illustration, simple shapes, slight analog grain, calm and intimate. It must read exceptionally well as a tiny podcast tile. Keep the host credit readable at the bottom. No realistic microphone cliché, no platforms, reviews, ratings, network affiliation, logos, watermark or device mockup. Finished flat cover, safe margin all sides.
A few useful answers
Can I make episode art too?
Yes. Reuse the visual direction while supplying each episode's exact title or guest name.
Does a square image automatically meet Apple Podcasts specifications?
No. A square aspect ratio describes shape; pixel size, file format and transparency must also be checked.
