What size should I export for podcast platforms?

Use 1400 x 1400, which is the minimum most directories ask for and the one they display. Export 3000 x 3000 when you want a high-resolution master to keep or to hand to a designer later. Because both are rendered from the same layout, the larger file is a genuine re-render rather than an upscale.

Can I upload a logo or photo to put on the cover?

No. The generator is a text-and-shape composition only, with no image upload and no way to place a bitmap. If the cover needs a photograph or a logo mark, this tool cannot produce it and you would need a full graphics editor.

Why is my title cut off?

Because the headline is limited to three wrapped lines and anything past the third is dropped. The wrap is measured against the canvas, so the exact limit depends on the width of the words rather than a character count. Shorten the title or move detail into the subtitle, which is a single line.

Is the artwork uploaded anywhere?

No. The image is drawn in the browser on a canvas element and exported directly to a PNG download. There is no server component, no image service and no account, so the title and colours you type never leave the page.

Could you add JPEG export or an image background?

Those are real gaps rather than settings. Export is PNG only, and the artwork is drawn from a fixed composition of shapes and type. Flat covers compress well as PNG, so the format is rarely the limiting factor, but a photograph background is simply outside what this generator draws.

Podcast Cover Art Generator draws a square show cover from a title, a subtitle and two colours, exporting it at the resolution the platforms ask for. It renders entirely on a canvas, with no uploads and no template download.

What is Podcast Cover Art Generator?

Type a show title and a subtitle, pick a background and an accent colour, and the generator draws podcast cover art on a canvas that updates as you type. The layout is a fixed, deliberate composition rather than a template gallery: a solid background fills the square, a large accent circle is cropped by the top-right corner, a darker circle adds depth at the bottom left, the title is set in white and wrapped across up to three lines, and the subtitle sits underneath it in a lighter tone.

What you control:

A show title field, used as the large white headline, with word wrapping measured against the canvas rather than a fixed character count.
A subtitle field under the headline.
A background colour and an accent colour, both picked with standard colour inputs.
Two export sizes: 1400 x 1400 for the publishing minimum and 3000 x 3000 as a high-resolution master.
A live preview rendered at 640 px so the composition can be judged without exporting.
A single PNG download, named podcast-cover.png.

Everything is drawn in a normalised 1000-unit design space and then scaled to the chosen pixel size, which is why changing the export size never changes the layout. The background is filled first, then the accent circle is drawn at a centre and radius expressed in those units, then a translucent black circle adds depth, then the title is measured word by word and broken into lines whose measured width stays inside an 800-unit margin. Choosing 1400 multiplies every coordinate by 1.4 and choosing 3000 multiplies by 3, so the 3000 px master is a true high-resolution render of exactly the same artwork rather than an upscaled preview.

Where it stops, in plain terms:

The composition is fixed; you cannot reposition elements, change the shape of the accent circle or pick a different layout.
There is no image upload, so a logo, a photo or a texture cannot be placed on the cover.
The title is clipped to three lines, and text that overflows is dropped rather than shrunk to fit.
The subtitle is a single line and is not wrapped or measured, so a long subtitle can run off the right edge.
Type is set in the system UI font, and the font size, weight and colour are not adjustable.
Export is PNG only, so there is no JPEG option even though flat covers would compress far smaller.
It produces a still image and nothing else: no multiple sizes in one pass, and no variant export for other platforms.

In practice this is a fast way to get a clean, on-spec square cover without opening a design app, and the title wrapping means a long show name usually survives intact. Keep the title short enough to fit comfortably in three lines, keep the subtitle to a handful of words, and choose an accent with enough contrast against the background that the circle reads clearly at thumbnail size. When the design calls for a real logo or an image background, this is the wrong tool and a full editor is the right one; the value here is speed and a predictable, platform-friendly result.

How to use Podcast Cover Art Generator

Enter the show title in the first field, since it drives the headline that wraps across the cover.
Add a subtitle, then choose a background colour and an accent colour to set the palette.
Choose the export size, either 1400 x 1400 for publishing or 3000 x 3000 for a high-resolution master.
Check the live preview and press Download PNG to save the square cover as podcast-cover.png.

When to use Podcast Cover Art Generator vs related tools

Podcast Cover Art Generator produces the square artwork that goes with an episode, and ID3 Tag Editor handles the metadata fields that sit inside the audio file itself. If you want a visual read on the sound rather than a designed cover, Waveform Visualizer draws the actual waveform. To record the episode this artwork will represent, Podcast Recorder is the capture step, and Podcast Chapter Marker Tool finishes the file with skip points.
