Crop Cover

Crop Cover

Accessible from the menu on any comic card in the File Manager or Collection view.

Many digital releases feature a two-page wraparound spread as the first image in the archive (combining the back cover, spine, and front cover into a single wide image). This can cause readers and thumbnail generators to display the entire spread or the back cover instead of the front cover.

The Crop Cover tool automatically fixes this layout:

  • Isolates the front cover: Crops the right-hand half of the lead image and sets it as the primary cover (00a.jpg).
  • Preserves the original spread: The uncropped wraparound image is retained and repositioned as the second page (00b.jpg), ensuring no artwork is lost.

For tri-fold covers or freeform cropping, use the interactive crop tools available in Edit CBZ File.
