It extracts the artwork from the track's ID3 tag and copy it to an image file.
Export Artwork is a shareware application for use with iTunes on Mac OS X. Its main function is to extract the artwork from the selected track's ID3 tag and copy it to an image file in a chosen location.
Export Artwork is also a fully fledged artwork manager as it can fetch album covers over the Internet and embed artwork to the ID3 tag, making it a great utility to help you update your cover collection as your music library grows. If you're looking for a way to compile all your album covers for a database or picture gallery, here is a solution to Export Artwork back into it's own image file.
If you have already filled your library's worth of mp3 / m4a (AAC) files with artwork, but want to resize or remove it from the ID3 tag to keep the file size down, and still keep all those album covers, Export Artwork is the perfect tool. Export Artwork requires iTunes version 4 or higher to run.
