Cover
Covers are used for all the ebook formats, and to make books more elegant on GitBook.com.
To provide a cover, place a cover.jpg file at the root directory of your book. Adding a cover_small.jpg will specify a smaller version of the cover. The cover should be a JPEG file.
Best Sizes
| Big | Small | |
|---|---|---|
| File | cover.jpg |
cover_small.jpg |
| Size(in pixels) | 1800x2360 | 200x262 |
Guidelines
A good cover respects the following guidelines:
- No border
- Clearly visible book title
- Any important text should be visible in the small version
Autocover
A GitBook plugin (autocover) can also be used to automatically generate a cover file, or just create a cover_small.jpg from a cover.jpg. This plugin is added by default on hosted books.
