Book Cover Maker — generate, refine, and export the files.

New accounts get 3 free AI Generations, valid 7 days, with no card. You sign in only at the moment you generate. Those results are watermarked 1080px-wide JPG previews — full compositions, enough to judge whether a cover is right, but licensed for evaluation only and not publishable. The clean file comes from a paid AI Generation: $19 for 20 or $39 for 60, one-time, valid 12 months. There is no subscription and nothing to cancel.

Romance and dark romance, fantasy and romantasy, thriller and mystery, nonfiction, and children’s from board book through middle grade. Each genre carries its own archetype set, coded by hand against the current Amazon bestseller tier for that category, so a thriller cover never comes out looking like romance. Pick your genre in the form and the grid above changes with it.

Nothing is a dead end and nothing is overwritten. Every result lands in a project that keeps all of its versions, and a change makes a new version beside the old one. Two of the three changes cost nothing: replacing the title text and making the title bigger. Only a described visual change is a new AI picture, and it is charged 1 AI Generation on success — an ai generation is used only when a new result actually succeeds. failures, timeouts, cancellations and retries of the same request never consume the final allowance.

The ebook front cover as PNG and JPG at 1600 × 2560 px, 1.6:1 — matching KDP’s recommended ebook cover dimensions — and, if you are printing, one paperback Full Wrap PDF holding the back cover, spine and front cover on a single sheet. Both exports use 0 AI Generations, and anything you have already made can be re-downloaded free.

Yes, free, but as a separate step — wrap dimensions cannot be known until your page count is final, which is not something a cover generator asks for. A cover made here builds its wrap in the project’s Publish workspace, with a back-cover headline and blurb, spine text and a choice of four looks drawn live against the guides. The renderer applies 0.125 in of bleed on every outside edge and keeps the bottom-right barcode area clear. A cover made anywhere else goes through the simpler standalone converter instead.

Yes, once you download a result created with a paid AI Generation. That download is the clean, un-watermarked file and it carries full commercial rights — worldwide, royalty-free, no attribution and no royalty share. Free previews are watermarked evaluation copies, so publish from a paid result. Separately from the rights you get here: KDP requires you to disclose AI-generated content, including cover images, during title setup. That declaration is yours to make, and KDP’s own content guidelines are the authority on what it covers — nothing on this page substitutes for reading them.

No generator can guarantee that every image is publication-ready. What this one removes are the two biggest tells: the composition is constrained to the genre’s measured conventions instead of a model average, and the lettering is constrained — the exact characters are demanded with clean letterforms rather than left to the model to invent. You should still inspect hands, faces, small details and how the title reads at store-thumbnail size, and generate another version when a result is not clean enough.

Those are useful when you want to assemble a cover by hand from templates, stock assets and layout controls — you start from a blank canvas and supply the design judgement. This starts from a different job: enter the book details, pick the genre, and review complete compositions constrained to that genre’s bestseller patterns. From there the work is editing a cover rather than building one, and the paid download comes with the clean file and commercial rights.
