Artwork File

This is the artwork for the chapter that will be displayed in eManga. It is by convention the cover of the volume to which the chapter belongs. It can be in PNG, JPEG, or GIF format, and must have a corresponding file extension. (.png, .jpg, .jpeg, or .gif). The normal dimension is 400 x 600px. If the artwork doesn't have a 2:3 ratio, please lock the height to 600px and follow the original aspect ratio so as to not distort the artwork. It is recommended to avoid exceeding these dimensions so as to keep the file's size down. For where to place the full cover, see the Cover Files section.
