What is a podcast episode graphic?
A podcast episode graphic is the per-episode image that sits alongside the show's main cover art: the episode number, its title, and often the guest. Hosts and producers use it in podcast apps, on YouTube, and as the social post that drives listens for that specific episode. It has to feel unmistakably part of the series while still saying what this one episode is about.
With Morphic you produce that graphic from a text prompt in your browser. Describe the show's look once, then generate each episode with new title text, compare options, and download in HD. You get a consistent weekly asset without rebuilding a template every time.
1.
Define the series look
Decide the colours, type feel, and framing that every episode graphic will share. Setting this once is what makes the whole feed read as one show rather than a pile of unrelated posts.
2.
Write the episode text
Note the episode number, episode title, and guest name exactly as they should appear. Short, specific titles survive better at thumbnail size than long ones.
3.
Generate the episode version
Open Morphic, describe the series look, and ask for this episode's graphic with the number and title in place. Request a couple of arrangements so you can compare where the title sits best.
4.
Check the text and the crop
Read the number, title, and guest name on each option and confirm they are spelled and spaced correctly. Preview the graphic as a small app tile and regenerate anything that gets crowded.
5.
Export and publish
Download in HD, then attach it to the episode in your host and use it for the social and video versions. Keep the prompt so the next episode starts from the same look.
Two episode-graphic options for the same episode, each carrying the number and title.
