FAQs

How can I create podcast thumbnails with AI?
You can generate podcast thumbnails directly in your browser on Morphic. Open the Image tool, describe your show genre, mood, and short title, and Morphic produces cover art in seconds.
What size should a podcast thumbnail be?
Directories use a square cover; ask for a 1:1 layout. For video episodes on YouTube, request a 16:9 version. Morphic keeps the focal point strong so it reads at small tile sizes.
Can I put the show title on the cover?
Yes. Include a short title in quotes in your prompt and keep it to a few words so it stays legible when shrunk. High contrast helps it hold up at directory scale.
How do I keep episode thumbnails consistent with my show art?
Use Style Transfer to lock your cover look, then generate each episode variant from that reference so the palette, type feel, and layout stay recognizable across the feed.
Can I use these thumbnails commercially?
Yes. You can use Morphic designs for published podcasts, marketing, and monetized shows, with no stock-photo licensing to track.
Can I animate my thumbnail for a video intro?
Yes. Use Image to Video to turn a finished cover into a short looping clip for a YouTube intro or social teaser without leaving your browser.
