Online book cover maker

A good book cover should:

- Match the book’s style, genre, and content

- Be eye-catching to grab the reader’s attention 

- Use images and symbols to convey the content

- Include the title and the author’s name in good typography

- Use the right colors to match the book’s tone

Yes, you can customize the look of the book cover templates to make it unique to your book. 

Use Picsart’s book cover creator to make your own book cover. You can even add your photos and use Picsart’s photo editor to tweak them. There are also a ton of genre-specific templates that you can choose from. 

This design workflow is paid. Check the current plan options and included features on the Picsart pricing page before starting.

Try: “A mysterious coastal lighthouse at dusk for a suspense novel cover, deep blue and muted gold, portrait composition, open space at the top for a title, no lettering.” Add the title and author name separately so you can control their size and placement.

Use a strong focal point and keep the title easy to read at a small size. Preview the cover as a thumbnail and simplify details that distract from the title or genre.

You can reuse the visual direction, but check each format’s requirements separately. A printed cover may need a spine, back cover, and bleed, while an ebook usually needs only the front cover image.
