+# 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.
+
