Per-episode 1200×630 Open Graph cards that make every Twitter, LinkedIn, and Threads share look intentional — not like a cropped square cover.
Open the Generator →Your show's cover art is square — 3000×3000, designed for the rounded thumbnail in Apple Podcasts and the corner of Spotify. That's the right asset for directories. It's the wrong asset for the link-preview card that shows up when a listener tweets your latest episode.
Twitter, LinkedIn, Threads, Facebook, Slack, and Discord all pull a 1.91:1 horizontal image from the Open Graph protocol tags on your episode page. When you don't supply one, the platform either crops your square cover into a horizontal slot (cutting off your show's wordmark) or falls back to a generic favicon-sized thumbnail. Either way, the share looks lazy — and the click-through rate reflects it.
The fix is not subtle: ship a real 1200×630 image for every episode, with the title large enough to read on a phone in a feed scroll. This generator was built for that exact loop.
The bread and butter. New episode goes live Tuesday at 6am, you tweet it at 9am with a card that shows the episode number, the title, the guest's name, and a small headshot. The episode number alone lifts engagement noticeably for serial shows — listeners use it to gauge whether they're caught up.
Drop a "this week on the show" card 48 hours before the episode goes live, featuring the guest's name and credential. This works especially well when your guest reshares it — their network sees a cleanly designed card, not a screenshot of your DMs. Build one template called "Coming Tuesday" and reuse it forever.
Pick the sharpest 8-12 word line your guest said and drop it into a quote-style OG card. Pin it to the episode page. When someone shares the link weeks later, the preview is a quotable moment instead of a generic thumbnail — turning your back catalog into something searchable.
End-of-season recaps and "best moments" episodes get more reach than weekly drops, but only if the share image signals the occasion. A "Season 3 — All Episodes" card with the season number set in display type tells the algorithm and the listener that this is a tentpole moment, not a standard Tuesday release.
If you're trading guest spots with another show, generate a co-branded card with both logos and both episode numbers. It's a clean way to signal partnership and gives both audiences a visual cue that the conversation lives in two places. Most podcasters skip this because it sounds like work — it takes 90 seconds in the generator.
Canva is fine if you make four social images a year. For podcasters shipping 50 episodes annually plus guest teasers and pull-quote cards, the friction adds up: opening the app, finding the right template, exporting, downloading, organizing the file. Multiply that by hundreds of cards per year and the time cost is real.
This tool runs in a single browser tab. Set your show template once — accent color, logo position, episode-number font — then swap title and guest photo per episode. Files render locally in your browser, so guest headshots never leave your machine. There's no account, no quota, no watermark, no upgrade nag.
?v=ep042 if you re-upload to the same URL — LinkedIn's Post Inspector caches aggressively and won't refetch otherwiseNo. Apple Podcasts and Spotify pull from your RSS feed's itunes:image tag — that's your square cover art, unrelated to OG images. OG images only matter when someone shares the episode link on social or in a chat app. The two assets serve different surfaces.
Most modern hosts do. If yours doesn't, run a small static site (the show's marketing page) with one HTML file per episode and host it on Vercel, Netlify, or GitHub Pages. Each file gets its own og:image meta tag. You can keep the audio file on your existing host — the episode page just needs to be the canonical share URL.
Yes. Once your template is dialed in, generating 10 episode cards back-to-back takes a few minutes. The generator keeps your settings between renders so you only swap the per-episode fields. Some podcasters do a full season's worth in one sitting on launch day.
