In Timbre, your artwork sits alongside your audio content within podcasts and episodes. These images can appear in your embedded content through Timbre Player or can be sent to third-party apps and podcast hosts (as well as being recalled through the API if this is included in your Timbre plan).


Artwork undoubtedly plays a huge role in the on-demand audio space. It can help your content stand out in the crowd, catch a listener's eye and convey important information about your content at a glance.


Managing your artwork in Timbre's artwork library will help streamline your workflow when creating new podcasts and episodes.
