Podcast Cover Art (Apple)

3000×3000 JPEG · Apple Podcasts spec

Each social platform crops uploaded media to its own aspect ratio before showing it in feeds. Uploading at the platform's native size — here, the platform feed posts — preserves the framing you intended and avoids the soft-focus that comes from the platform's own resampler. This preset outputs 3000×3000 JPEG at the square ratio that the platform expects.

When you'd run Podcast Cover Art (Apple)

How Podcast Cover Art (Apple) runs

This preset is a deterministic recipe — every step has fixed parameters so the result is byte-identical across runs of the same input.

  1. Crop the image to a 1:1 aspect ratio. Mochi keeps the centre of the frame in the middle of the crop by default — drag the crop box if you want to recompose.
  2. Resize to 3000×3000 px as JPEG at quality 92%.

Where the work happens

Podcast Cover Art (Apple) crops your input to 1:1 and resizes it to 3000×3000 px as JPEG — a 9.0-megapixel output. The work runs through canvas APIs and a WebAssembly image-encoder; the source image is decoded into an off-screen canvas, transformed in place, and re-encoded without any network upload.

Social-platform uploads frequently re-encode the file at the platform's CDN; running this preset locally before upload lets you see the exact pre-upload state. The browser-side path also means the file never leaves your device — relevant when the input contains personally identifiable information, screenshots of private documents, ID scans, or proprietary product photography.

Common mistakes

FAQ

What does Podcast Cover Art (Apple) output?

3000×3000 px, saved as JPEG at quality 92%.

Why is the output square (1:1)?

The social this preset targets uses 1:1 framing. For passport photos this matches the printed-photo standard; for social posts it's the safe ratio that fills the feed without horizontal cropping.

Why JPEG and not PNG?

The target accepts JPEG, and JPEG compresses photographic content 5-10× smaller than PNG with no visible difference at quality 92%. PNG is the right choice only when the image has hard edges or transparency — which photo-ID, social posts, and product photos don't.

Does my image get uploaded?

No. This preset runs entirely in your browser using WebAssembly + canvas APIs — no server round-trip. You can verify this in your browser's network panel: only static asset requests, no image upload. The file never leaves your device.
