Podcast directories show your cover at postage-stamp size next to fifty others, which is why the covers that work have one big element and almost no fine detail. Podcast Cover Maker is built around that constraint. You give it the show name, an optional host line, the genre and a style, and it renders a square cover with the title rendered as the hero, spelled correctly, and a single focal element that still reads at 200 pixels.

The style options map to the looks that dominate the charts. Bold typographic fills the square with the name in a two-color palette. Photo of host puts a person at a microphone in warm studio light with the title overlaid. Illustrated hints at the topic with hand-drawn or vector artwork. Minimal leaves negative space and one small icon. Retro brings 70s oranges and rounded lettering; Dark & moody goes deep black with a single neon accent. Let AI choose gives a distinctive modern cover with a strong focal element.

A cover is the one graphic you will look at every week for years, so iterate. Run three styles at Standard for 2 credits each, pick the direction, then render the final at Pro or Max for clean edges on the type. The result is a 1:1 image that fits Spotify, Apple Podcasts and every hosting platform. For episode art or clips, hand the show name to Quote Card Maker and YouTube Thumbnail Maker with the Podcast clip style so everything matches.

Questions

What size does the cover come out at?

A square 1:1 image. Upload it as-is to your host; if the directory wants a specific pixel size, send it to Upscale first for a 3000 × 3000 file.

Can the cover include a photo of me?

Not as an upload — this tool renders from text. Pick the Photo of host style for a generated host at a microphone, or use Creator Brand Photos for a real photo of you and set it as the cover in your host.
