Cover design

Design covers on a real canvas.
Print-ready, bound to the book, not floating in a folder.

A proper design tool that lives next to your titles. Lay out front, spine, and back, get AI help when you’re stuck, and export a file the printer accepts on the first try.

How it works
1
01

Start from the title

Open the book and the cover is already sized to its trim and page count. No guessing the spine width.

2
02

Design or ask AI

Drag type and art on a real canvas, or describe what you want and let AI rough out concepts to refine.

3
03

Export print-ready

Download a properly bleeding, CMYK, printer-approved file that won’t bounce back with a “resolution too low” email.

Where it shines

The press without a designer

Make a clean, professional cover yourself instead of paying $400 and waiting a week per title.

Series consistency

Keep eight books in a series visually matched without rebuilding the template each time.

Last-minute spine fix

Page count changed? The spine resizes with the book. No re-export from scratch.

Quick concepts for the author

Show three directions in an afternoon instead of describing them over email.

Pricing

Pay for Covers, nothing else.

No suite, no bundle, no cut of your sales. Turn this tool on by itself and switch it off any time.

Usage-based
Free, pay as you go

Free to design. AI generations and exports run on wallet credits — only pay for the covers you make.

A cover that lives in Canva doesn’t know your book.

Generic design tools don’t know your trim size, your spine width, or your bleed. So you eyeball it, export, and the printer rejects the file because the spine’s 3mm off. Then you do it again. And again.

Here the cover is bound to the title. It already knows the dimensions, because the book told it. You design once, export once, and the file is right, because the math was never yours to get wrong.

Frequently asked

Do I need design skills?

No. Start from a clean layout, use AI to generate concepts, and adjust. You don’t need to know what a bleed line is, because we handle it.

Will the printer accept the file?

Yes. Exports are print-ready with correct bleed and color, sized to the book’s actual trim and page count.

What does it cost?

Pay as you go from your wallet. You buy credits and spend them on generations and exports, so you only pay for the covers you actually make.

Can I match a series look?

Yes. Reuse a layout across every book in a series so the whole shelf looks like it belongs together.

Covers that fit the book, the first time.
