First, take a look at the guidelines on the Distribution tab of your ZenCast dashboard and make sure you've checked off each item:


You can also take a look at Apple's review process documentation.

Apple's podcast artwork guidelines are as follows:

  • Minimum size 1400 x 1400 pixels, maximum size 3000 x 3000 pixels
  • 72 dpi resolution
  • PNG or JPG file types

You can view Apple's artwork guidelines for podcasts, episodes, channels, and more, here.


Apple Podcasts content guidelines are broken down into 4 areas:
