Keep Titles Readable at Thumbnail Size

When podcast apps shrink your cover, the show name can get hard to read. Designkit keeps that title large and clear, so listeners can still spot your show while scrolling.

Frequently Asked Questions

What size should a podcast cover be?

Use a square 1:1 image. Most directories recommend 3000x3000 pixels. Apple Podcasts accepts 1400x1400 to 3000x3000. Export one sharp square master so the same file works across hosts and apps.

Can I change the cover after I generate it?

Yes. Keep the option you like, then adjust the title, colors, or host photo in the same session before you download.

What file format do podcast directories accept?

JPG or PNG in RGB is standard. Keep the file square. Apple often prefers keeping the upload under about 500KB, so start from a sharp master and compress carefully if your host enforces a limit.

Can I put a host photo on the cover?

Yes. Upload a clear photo you own or have permission to use, then place it in the same cover session as the title. Check that the face stays recognizable when the image is small.

How is this different from a Canva template?

A template starts from a shared layout. Designkit starts from your show description or photo and gives you original square options to refine.

Is Designkit free to try for podcast covers?

Yes. You can try making a podcast cover online for free. Available features and usage limits may depend on the account or plan shown in the product.
