And now, this week's episode.

Speaker:

When it comes to podcast cover art,

Speaker:

there's a set design template you have to work to.

Speaker:

So, it's gotta be a square image,

Speaker:

a minimum 1400 pixels by 1400 pixels,

Speaker:

and a maximum 3000 by 3000 pixels,

Speaker:

a JPEG or a PNG image,

Speaker:

and less than 512 kilobytes in size.

Speaker:

These are the specs that Apple Podcasts require,

Speaker:

and pretty much every podcast app pulls from that design.

Speaker:

If you know Photoshop or something similar,

Speaker:

you can use that.

Speaker:

If you don't know Photoshop,

Speaker:

you could go to something like Fiverr,

Speaker:

and use a freelancer to create cover art for you.

Speaker:

However, there's another option that's really cool,

Speaker:

and that's Canva.

Speaker:

Canva's an online design platform,

Speaker:

and they've got a dedicated podcast template section

Speaker:

with almost 1,400 templates to choose from.

Speaker:

There's photos, images, logos, and more.

Speaker:

And the great thing with the Canva templates

Speaker:

is you can either use the default ones that they provide you

Speaker:

or use them as a starting point

Speaker:

and then add your own photographs,

Speaker:

logos, color, design, et cetera.

Speaker:

It's a really simple way to get great looking cover art,

Speaker:

and it's free.

Speaker:

You can find out more at oneminutepodcasttips.com/canva

Speaker:

and make your artwork really stand out.

Speaker:

Until the next time, happy podcasting.

Speaker:

Speaker:

Thanks for listening.
