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.
