Questions

Podcast cover, answered

Is it the right size for Apple Podcasts and Spotify?
Yes. A 2K cover is 2048 pixels square, and Apple Podcasts takes 1400 to 3000. Pick 4K, 4096 pixels square, for print and merch.
Can I use it as my podcast logo?
Yes. In podcast apps the cover art is the show's logo: the square people tap in the grid. For a mark on its own, for a mic flag or a sticker, use Logo.
Can I make episode art in the same look?
Yes. Type the episode's title and upload your cover, and it keeps your cover's type, colors and style with the episode as the headline. The same upload makes a 16:9 version for YouTube.
What does Podcast cover make?
Cover art for your podcast that looks like a top-chart show, with its name readable even as a tiny tile, and episode art to match.
What do I need to bring?
Set exactly as typed, as the biggest thing on the cover.
How does it work?
Type your show's name, and a tagline or the hosts' names if you want them on it. Add up to two host photos, or none, and pick a look. Get square cover art in under half a minute.
What can I choose?
Look: Editorial portrait, Duotone, Big type, Illustrated, 70s radio, True-crime noir, Comedy stickers or Minimal Swiss, and 1 more. Size: 2K or 4K. Leave any of them to Surprise me.
How much does it cost?
From $0.25 an image, and you see the exact price before you press go. A run that fails costs nothing, there is no subscription, and you can start free without a card.
Can I use the result commercially?
Yes. You own what you make on Leap, so you can use it commercially, and we never train AI on it. The people and brands shown in a result can still have rights in it; the Terms say more.
Can I run it from code?
Yes. Developers run it as leap/podcast-cover through the Leap API, at the same price, with the same choices.

It runs on Nano Banana 2.1, with the prompting done for you. Rather write your own? Open a model's page and start from there.
