There is no auto downloading for covers, as DuckStation does not own the legal rights to the images. But you can add them yourself quite easily.
1. Click `Tools -> Open Data Directory`. This will open the user directory, also where memory cards, save states, screenshots, etc are saved.
2. Navigate to the `covers` subdirectory.
3. Put your cover images in here. The name of this image should match either:
- The title of the game (you can get this from the game list, or properties dialog), assuming you have downloaded the redump db (e.g. `Crash Bandicoot (USA).png`).
- The filename of the game (e.g. `crash.png` for `crash.chd`).
- The serial of the game (e.g. `SCUS-94900.png`).
4. After adding cover images, either restart DuckStation, or click `View -> Refresh Covers`.
