Working sizes
| Asset | Dimensions | Aspect ratio | Media type |
|---|---|---|---|
| Episode art | 3000 × 3000 px | 1 / 1 | Audio |
| Video thumbnail | 1920 × 1080 px | 16 / 9 | Video |
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.
