Users will often have books in their collection for which there is no official cover available to download, such as short fiction and articles. Calibre includes the ability to generate a cover for you from the book metadata. However currently the only control over its appearance it offers is a tweak for the font.
This plugin offers an enhanced alternative that allows you to select from your own choice of cover images and a wide range of layout/appearance options.
Main Features:- Add/remove your own images to a list to choose from when you generate
- Option to use the existing book cover as an embedded image
- Control which metadata to display and where it is located on the cover
- Option to swap author name for users who store it in Calibre as LN, FN
- Fine tune many aspects of cover appearance such as fonts, borders, colors and margins
- Save your customised settings under a name to quickly recall multiple different appearances
- Export your settings for sharing and import settings from other users
- Option to use an image as a background rather than a content item
- Option to add custom text to a cover, using Calibre's template language to place your choice of additional data on the cover
- Option to auto-size text to fit on a single line for long text
