Apple Podcasts cover art and audio requirements
Package show identity, episode art, and clean spoken-audio masters for Apple Podcasts.
Platform guidance
Apple Podcasts prefers 3000 × 3000 px episode art and accepts RSS artwork from 1400 to 3000 px. Audio format, rights, metadata, and feed delivery require a final validation in Podcasts Connect.

Working sizes
| Asset | Dimensions | Aspect ratio | Media type |
|---|---|---|---|
| Episode art | 3000 × 3000 px | 1 / 1 | Audio |
| Audio master | 48 kHz / 24-bit | 1 / 1 | Audio |
Why these numbers matter
Marketplaces, social networks, and streaming services resize, crop, or reject media that misses their working size. Building each asset inside the published size keeps the product, title, and artwork in frame instead of being re-cropped after upload.
