iTunes Now Recommending 1400x1400 Podcast Artwork
News came out last week that Apple has once again changed its recommended podcast artwork size for iTunes to 1400x1400. This change comes as a surprise to many podcasters due to the fact that iTunes had recently changed its recommended size from 600x600 to 1200x1200.
iTunes prefers square .jpg images that are at least 1400 x 1400 pixels, which is different than what is specified for the standard RSS image tag. In order for a podcast to be eligible for an iTunes Store feature, the accompanying image must be at least 1400 x 1400 pixels.
