Cover Image or Artwork of a Podcast
๐จ Your Cover โ More Than Just an Image
The cover art is the visual face of your podcast. It appears in the feed and is used as the main image by most podcast apps.
There are two types of cover images:
Podcast Cover (for the entire podcast)
Upload location: Podcast > General
This image is used when no episode-specific covers are set.
Episode Cover (optional, per episode)
Upload location: Episode > General
Some podcast apps support individual covers for each episode.
If no episode cover is uploaded, the app will use the podcast cover instead.
