Apple - How can I extract Album Art from a track?
- In iTunes select the song and press ⌘+I to Get Info.
- Go to the tab Artwork and press ⌘+C to copy the Artwork.
- Open
Preview.app
. - Select File → New from Clipboard from the menu or press ⌘+N
- Save the file to a custom location. (
.png
,.jpg
,.pdf
,.tiff
, ...)
Alternative for 3 to 5 : just select the artwork, and drag and drop on you desktop (or elsewhere) (it will copy the original file there; eg : if the file inside was a PNG, you'll have a PNG, if it was a JPG, you'll get a JPG)
For completeness sake, in case anybody else comes searching for how to do the same thing on iTunes for Windows, here's the process:
In iTunes, select the song, right-click, and choose Get Info.
Go to the Artwork tab.
Then, click & drag the artwork to your Windows desktop. It makes a file.
That's it.
