How it works

  1. Upload your photo

    Drop your image into EditThisPic. JPG, PNG, WebP up to 7MB. Choose a clear photo where the area you want to edit is visible.

    Expect: Most edits complete in 20-45 seconds. Complex changes may need 1-2 refinements.
  2. Describe your edit

    Type what you want: 'create a professional podcast cover from this photo — bold composition, show name space, platform-compliant square format.' Be specific about details for best results. The AI understands natural language — no technical skills needed.

    Tip: Mention the genre and mood — 'dark thriller book cover with cinematic lighting' guides the AI precisely.

    Copy one of these to get started:

Quick answers

Can AI create podcast cover art from my photo?

Yes. Upload your photo and describe the style — 'dark background, broadcast lighting, bold and authoritative.' EditThisPic AI creates a professional podcast cover. Free, no signup.

What size does Spotify and Apple Podcasts require?

Both require 3000x3000px square images in JPG or PNG under 500KB. Describe the square format in your prompt; the AI adjusts the composition accordingly.

Do I need design skills?

No. Just describe the style in plain English — 'dark cinematic background, confidence headshot, room for the show name at the bottom.' The AI handles the visual work.

Can I add my show name to the cover?

EditThisPic creates the visual design. Add text in Canva, Adobe Express, or Photoshop after downloading. Ask the AI to 'leave space at the bottom for the show name' in your prompt.

What style works best for podcast covers?

Covers that look distinctive at small size (64x64px in Apple Podcasts lists) win. Bold contrast, a clear face or symbol, and a limited color palette. Avoid clutter.

Is it free?

Yes. One free Fast edit per week, no signup. Credit packs from $1.99 for more.

Does the result have a watermark?

No. EditThisPic never adds watermarks. Your podcast cover art downloads clean.

Can I use this for video podcast thumbnails too?

Yes. Video podcast thumbnails on YouTube use the same visual principles. Use the YouTube thumbnail workflow for those — 16:9 ratio vs square for audio covers.

How much does EditThisPic cost?

You get 1 free edit per week — no account needed. After that, credit packs start at $1.99 for 3 edits. Monthly plans start at $4.99/mo for 15 edits with unused credits rolling over. All edits are full resolution with no watermark.
