At BookCoverly, authentic, human-created design will always be at the heart of what we do. Our core image libraries are rooted in real artistry—crafted by designers and sourced from trusted, copyright-free platforms—and that will never change.
At the same time, we recognize that the creative process looks different for everyone. Many authors and designers are embracing AI as a tool to spark ideas and bring visions to life faster—and we respect that fully. Our goal has always been to serve the cover creator, whatever their process.
So rather than take a rigid stance, we've chosen to honor both paths. Whether you want nothing to do with AI-generated imagery or you're eager to use it as a starting point, BookCoverly is built to support your creative vision—on your terms.
We've heard from many of you who wanted an AI art option built right into the studio—so we built one. You'll now find a Generate tab inside the AI panel of the design studio, giving you the ability to create high-quality, purpose-built AI artwork specifically optimized for book covers.
This isn't generic AI imagery. It's designed with the nuances of book cover design in mind—cinematic lighting, genre-appropriate aesthetics, and the kind of visual impact that makes a cover stop a reader mid-scroll. Simply describe what you're envisioning, and let the generator produce a starting point you can build on.
For those who prefer the AI approach, this is your tool. For those who want nothing to do with AI art—that's completely valid too. Our authentic, curated image galleries remain exactly as they've always been: entirely human-created, sourced from trusted copyright-free platforms, and available for every user who values that distinction.
The choice is yours. We're simply making sure BookCoverly works brilliantly for both.
