How to Create Podcast Audiograms

If you haven't already, create yourself a Podcast.co account (it's free for the first 14 days), then login to your account.

Choose an Episode

Choose an Aspect Ratio (Landscape, Square, or Portrait)

Depending on where you want to share your audiogram (YouTube, Twitter, etc), choose from either:

  • Landscape: 16:9, ideal for YouTube and websites.
  • Square: 1:1, best suited for Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook.
  • Portrait: 4:3, useful for Instagram stories and Snapchat.
Choose your video size.

Crop Your Image

Podcast.co automatically uploads your podcast artwork. Either use your default artwork or upload a new image, then adjust and crop to how you prefer.

Trim Your Audio

Adjust the start and end points of the audio clip to trim the length of your podcast. Depending on what you want to use it for depends on the length, for example, an entire episode would work well on YouTube, but a short highlight is better suited for places like Twitter or Instagram to grab attention and give your listeners a taste.
