Episode Cover Image

Use an episode cover

An episode cover is an image for one episode. Upload it under Episode > General. It does not replace the podcast cover for the whole show.

Apps can show episode covers differently. If you do not supply an episode cover, Apple Podcasts uses the podcast cover. Apple can also use the podcast cover when it shows several podcasts together.

Image requirements

For artwork sent through an RSS feed, Apple accepts square PNG or JPG images from 1400 × 1400 to 3000 × 3000 pixels. It prefers the largest size. Do not use transparency or an alpha channel.

See Apple's episode art requirements. Those requirements do not specify a general limit of 512 kB or a requirement of 72 dpi.

Follow the file-size and image-dimension instructions in the Podigee upload field. The upload check and the requirements of each podcast platform are separate checks.

For podcast cover settings, see podcast and episode artwork.

The cover uploader in the Podigee web app accepts files up to 2 MB (2,048 KiB). Larger files are rejected before upload. This file-size check is separate from podcast platforms’ artwork requirements.
