Getting Started

With our easy-to-use design tool, you can make a professional-looking book cover in no time. Follow this simple guide to get started on creating a beautiful cover that perfectly represents your book.

1. Click the Make a Cover button to begin creating your book cover.
2. You’ll now be prompted to enter some essential details about your book. This includes your book's title, author name, and genre. This information is important because it helps our tool recommend design elements that best suit your book’s style and genre.
3. After inputting your book's details, click Select a Cover Image.
4. Next, you’ll be asked to choose a cover image. Coverjig automatically suggests cover images based on the genre you've selected. If you’re happy with one of the suggestions, simply click on it to use it for your design. If you'd prefer to upload your own image, you have the option to do so. Simply click the Upload button and select your desired image file.
   Note: Uploads are only available for logged-in users.
5. Once you’ve selected your cover image, click the Let’s Go button. Coverjig will then generate a paperback book template which you can start customizing.
6. Now that your cover is generated, you can make it your own! The design tool will automatically choose a font that complements your book’s genre, but you have full control over the font style, size, and placement. You can also swap the cover image for a different one if you'd like. Whether you’re looking to make minor tweaks or complete changes, the customization options are extensive, giving you the freedom to design a cover that suits your vision.
7. If you're also planning to release a hardback edition of your book, Coverjig allows you to create a hardcover version based on your design.
