Make it in TelegramThe prompt behind this style
Turn this photo into a podcast cover portrait. Keep the face, features and expression exactly recognizable. A bold flat colored background in warm orange, a studio microphone in the frame, punchy contrast, clean graphic look that reads at thumbnail size. Vertical 3:4, no text.
A cover that reads small
Podcast apps show covers at very small sizes, so the design needs strong shapes, flat color and a clear face. The prompt gives a bold orange background, a microphone and high contrast. There is no text, so you can place your title in any design app without clashing. The result is a vertical 3:4 portrait that you can crop to the square covers require.
Getting the best crop
Podcast directories require a square cover, often at least 1400 by 1400 pixels, but check the current rules of your platform. The bot returns a vertical image, so crop it and scale carefully. Keep the face in the upper part and leave room for the title. If the microphone covers your mouth, ask for it to sit lower. Warm colors stand out in lists, but you can pick your own.
Honest use
The portrait is an AI generated image based on your photo. Listeners often expect a real host, and some podcast platforms and sponsors may care about AI images, so be open about it where it matters. A real photo works better for live events and press. Rerun for 2 credits if the face or the microphone looks wrong. When the image arrives, look at the face at thumbnail size first, since that is where drift shows up most.
Tips
- Send a bright front-facing photo with a clear expression.
- Change the backdrop color in the caption to match your brand.
- Ask for headphones if you want the audio feel.
- Add your show title in a design app, since the image has no text.
- Test the cover at 150 pixels wide to see if the face still reads.
