Submitted a few different feeds of the same show to Apple. One of the feeds was denied alleging the art album was larger than 1400x1400, but the file is 1400x1400 and the other submissions were accepted just fine. Has this happened to you? Thanks. ---

Png. I believe either those or jpg should work correct? Thanks ---

If the cover image was made in Canva, you can compress the image size to make it smaller. (below) That might help with image size, which is an issue on Apple Podcasts. ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/podcaster1/original/1X/a1f43c80717da69e1fa1cd533e9e465aa5005191.jpeg) ---

I have trouble with that sort of thing sometimes. I use Canva to work with graphics so I can o er come that type of thing. This sounds like a great Workbench opportunity. @craigconstantine ---

> [@GermanWithNicole](#): > > That might help with image size, which is an issue on Apple Podcasts. Another point to note with Canva is that their default resolution is 96ppi but apple ask for 72 ppi so it needs to be converted - on a Mac you can use The Preview app Tools \> Adjust Size . We only have to do this once unless we use different artwork for each episode. Not sure if an easy fix on a PC but there will be something. ---

If I’m keeping score correctly, then it’s… - 3,000 px, square - file size not more than 500k - 72dpi (That’s a value your software sets within the image’s meta-data. See [“dots per inch” (DPI)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dots_per_inch) and [meta data in images](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metadata#Photographs) if this is new for you.) ---
