How it works

From book details to print-ready, in four steps.

No queues, no rush fees, no handoffs. Design, preview, download.

1

Tell us about your book

Start with the technical specs: trim size (6×9, 5.5×8.5, 8.5×11, or custom), final page count, and paper stock (black & white on white, black & white on cream, standard color, or premium color). We calculate the spine width, bleed, and safety zones separately for each supported printer instead of stretching one universal file across incompatible templates.

2

Design the cover

Option A — AI design. Enter your title, subtitle, author name, and back-cover description. Upload up to four reference images to guide the AI — a photo of yourself to put on the cover, an object or setting you want featured, or a book cover you like the style of (we use it as inspiration, not a copy). Give direction in plain English: "put me in an expensive suit, looking confident, against a city skyline at dusk."

Option B — Upload your own. Already have an ebook cover you love? Upload it instead. We'll use your existing front cover and build the matching spine and back cover programmatically at the exact print dimensions for each printer.

3

Preview freely

Explore up to three AI concepts for each cover free, or upload an existing front cover without using an AI concept. Buying any credit pack unlocks continued AI refinement, while the credit itself is only spent when you download the final files.

4

Download the full bundle

When you're happy, spend one credit to download:

  • Print-ready wrap-around PDF, one per printer — each built at that printer's cover dimensions and spine width.
  • Ebook cover — JPEG at the resolutions Kindle, Apple, Google Play, and Kobo each prefer.
  • Audiobook cover — on demand. Click "Generate audiobook cover" after purchase and the AI reimagines your front cover as a 1:1 square at 3000×3000 with title and author preserved. Free, included with your purchased cover.

Credit packs

Buy one cover at a time ($24) or a multi-cover pack (down to $11.29/cover for the 100-pack). Every cover bundle now includes hardcover case-laminate PDFs for KDP and IngramSpark in addition to paperback wraps, ebook, and audiobook variants. Credits are non-transferable and expire two years from purchase.

What we don't do (yet)

Hardcover dust jackets with flaps are not yet supported. Everything else — paperback, hardcover case laminate, ebook, audiobook — is covered.

Need fully custom human art direction?

BookCovers.pro is best for fast production, existing front-cover conversions, series, backlists, and AI-assisted concepts. A human designer can be a better fit for original illustration, intricate photo compositing, or a flagship title requiring hands-on art direction.

Preparing your files…

We’re composing the print-ready bundle at 300 dpi. This usually takes 5–20 seconds.

You can close this if the download doesn’t start.
