Cover Image

Create a visually striking cover that grabs attention

Cover image format

Coverjig supports the following cover image formats:

Full: The cover image fills the entire book cover.
Front only: The image is only on the front cover, while the spine and back are color only.
No cover image: The front, spine, and back are color only.

To change the format, click on the Cover Image Display field in theCover tab and select your preferred option. The cover design will update accordingly.

Tip: If you want the front cover image to be replicated on the back cover, select the ‘Front Only’ cover image display format and then adjust the opacity of the back cover color.

Changing your cover image

Navigate to theCover tab and click Change Cover Image to open the cover image selection window. Here, you can either search from over 6 million photos or upload your own book cover artwork. For best results, ensure that any image you upload is of a high quality to avoid pixelation when printed.

The images you select will appear in your gallery. To change your book's cover image, simply click on the one you want to use. To remove an image, hover over it and click thebutton.

The maximum image upload size is 10MB, and the accepted formats are .jpg, .jpeg, and .png.

Positioning your cover image

Use the cover image selection tool in theCover tab to resize and position your book cover artwork. Simply click and drag the highlighted area to position your image, and click and drag the edges to zoom in or out.

When positioning your image, you may notice that the selection area does not extend to the edge. This is because Coverjig adds a bleed area around your design, as required by Amazon KDP. This non-selectable area ensures that there is enough of your cover image to fill the bleed area when your book is printed. Note that the bleed area is larger for hardcover books.

Flip the image

Coverjig allows you to flip your cover image vertically or horizontally. Simply click the Flip Image buttons.
