Adding artwork to songs and other items

Music and video you buy from the iTunes Store comes with its own artwork. You can add your own artwork to songs and other items in your library.

You can add many popular types of still-image files, including JPEG, PNG, GIF, TIFF, and Photoshop. You must convert WAV files to another format before you can add artwork.

Artwork appears in the artwork viewer (in the lower-left corner of the iTunes window) when the item is selected or playing. To display the artwork viewer, choose View > Show Artwork or click this button:
