How to Use the Export Cover Page to JPG Tool

Four steps, and the whole thing runs locally on your own device.

  1. Load the PDF

    Drop in the document whose cover you need.

  2. Choose the output format

    JPG for small file size and photographic covers, PNG for a cover with text or flat colour areas.

  3. Set the resolution

    Choose a DPI appropriate for where the image will be used — small for thumbnails, high for print.

  4. Export page one

    The cover page renders and downloads as a single image file named after your document.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this extract just the first page?

Yes, page one only. If the cover is on a different page, use Export Selected Page as Image to choose it explicitly.

What resolution should I use for a book catalogue?

Around 150 DPI suits most thumbnail and listing uses. Go to 300 DPI if the cover needs to hold up in print.

Is the whole cover captured, or just the artwork?

The entire page, including any title, author and publisher text printed on it.

Will the exported cover match what I see on screen?

Yes. The page is rendered as displayed, so any stored rotation is applied and the image looks like the page in a reader.

Can I get a JPEG at a smaller size for a grid of covers?

Yes — choose a lower DPI and JPG format. For a whole grid at once, Generate Page Thumbnails covers every page including the cover.
