The jacket.
The thumbnail. One canvas.

Describe the book or channel. AI helps you land typography and art on a real layer stack — front, spine, and back for print, or one bold face for screens.

Free to open. Send print-ready files to Printing Press when you are ready.

Stack of printed books with designed jackets

Screen art and print art stay aligned.

Stop exporting a Canva square, a separate spine guess, and a print-shop email thread. One studio knows trim sizes, boards, and the handoff to press.

Kinds

Books, audio, shows, and shorts.

Pick what you are making — the designer opens the right board set and safe dimensions.

Trade jacket

Front, spine, and back together.

Title, author, blurb, and barcode zones on a print-minded canvas. Standard trims like 6×9 are one tap.

AI designer

Typography and art without a blank page.

Chief and Cover Designer share one canvas. Ask for a bolder title, a mood shift, or a photo treatment — the agent edits the same layers you nudge.

  1. Layer stack
    Text, images, and shapes you can move, resize, and rotate. Every change is on the desk.
  2. Skills for genre
    Romance, thriller, biz, or kidlit — skill packs steer the first draft before you refine.
  3. You approve
    Destructive edits wait for your OK on the desk. Chat suggests; you accept.

Canvas

Boards and trim that printers expect.

Books use front, spine, and back. Everything else uses one face — but the same editor, fonts, and export path.

  1. Trim sizes
    6×9, 5×8, and 5.5×8.5 presets for paperbacks — or set dimensions for digital-only.
  2. Linked boards
    Spine width follows your page count field. Back cover holds blurb and barcode safe area.
  3. Writer handoff
    Book Author can open covers you already started — same org, no retyping the title.

Print on Press

Mail the jacket you already designed.

When trim and boards are final, open Printing Press with this cover loaded — same file, clear quote, ship home.

  1. Lock the design
    Mark the cover ready on the desk so export and print see the same version.
  2. Print on press
    One tap opens Press at `/from/cover-designer/<id>` with your art.
  3. Ship the run
    Quote quantity and transit on Press. Digital thumbnails stay live for stores.

How it works

Describe. Design. Publish. Print.

  1. 01
    Start the piece
    Pick book, audiobook, podcast, YouTube, or short. Title, author or host, and genre seed the canvas.
  2. 02
    Polish with AI
    Ask for layout, palette, or type fixes. Accept layers when the jacket or thumbnail feels finished.
  3. 03
    Share & print
    Export for stores or open Press for a paperback run — same design, no second build.

From the floor

What creators ship.

  • BookIndie author
    Designed the 6×9 jacket here, synced the thumbnail to AuthorKit, and printed 200 paperbacks on Press from the same file.
  • PodcastPodcast producer
    Season art in an afternoon — square layout landed in Apple and Spotify without a second export.
  • YouTubeYouTube educator
    Series thumbnail template on the desk; each episode gets a new title layer without rebuilding the frame.
  • AudiobookAudiobook studio
    Matched the ebook cover type on a square face — narrators’ names stay readable at list size.
