How to change the artwork on Apple Podcast?

Looking for a simple 2023 answer to how change the artwork on Apple Podcast...I have read a lot of posts from 2-4 years ago....done everything they said....no change....It updates everywhere else instantly (Spotify, Spreaker etc). No change with Apple after waiting for days per the previous posts...seems silly. I am sure I am doing something wrong or missing a step, just want to update the artwork, should be more simple than it is...any help is appreciated. Thanks

If the image hasn't updated on Apple then it may not be conforming to their requirements: minimum 1400 x 1400 px, maximum (preferred) 3000 x 3000 px, RGB, JPG or PNG ( and not the others quoted above), less than 500kB and no alpha channel. Also, you must have changed the file name from the previous image, or Podcasts, which caches the image, has no way of knowing it's changed.


If you care to post the URL of your feed I will check the image for you.

The image is OK, though of course I don't know whether you gave it a new file name.


As you say, your podcast is up twice, with different podcast IDs: I don't know how you managed that as it shouldn't be possible. I can't determine the feed URL from the app, so I don't know whether you've managed to submit two different feeds with the same contents, or there's some sort of glitch. Look in your account page in Podcasts Connect and see whether it's up twice there. If it is, you could delete one of them. If it isn't, you should contact Podcasts Support and ask them to investigate: https://podcastsconnect.apple.com/contact-us


As to the image, the only thing I can think of is when did you post it? It can take some days for a changed image to appear, so that might be the issue.

Try this (from https://blubrry.com/support/powerpress-documentation/notify-itunes-podcast-ended-deleted-removed-blocked/)


Sign in to Apple Podcasts Connect and select your podcast’s cover art. On the next page, under Additional Information, select the Delete Podcast link. A pop-up will appear, asking if you’re sure. Confirm and give

Apple up to 24 hours to remove the listing from the directory.

Thank you Roger, here is the feed:


https://www.spreaker.com/show/5365480/episodes/feed


Of note, I notice I two separate versions of this show in the Apple Podcast Connect site....same account, same show (published via Spreaker), but two different Apple Podcast Show ID's with different listening analytics.....no idea why this is the case and wondering if that is contributing to this problem.


Any help appreciated
