Stop guessing dimensions. Automatically calculates spine width for paperback, hardcover, and dust jackets — your files are 100% retail-ready the moment you export.

Access high-resolution stock photos, historical archives, and exclusive hand-crafted graphics. Find the rare textures and unique visuals that set your book apart.

A fluid editor with pixel-perfect zoom, smart guides, and snap-to alignment. Professional control that feels effortless.

Pro-Grade Layer System

Lock, hide, and reorder every element with surgical precision. Keep complex designs organized and full control over every pixel.

Advanced Styling

Adjustable opacity, blend modes, custom borders, and texture fills. Every element can be engineered to look like it came from a high-end design studio.

AI Design Ideas in the Toolbar

Generate fresh cover concepts instantly right from the studio toolbar. Use an AI-generated idea as inspiration, or drop it straight onto your canvas as a starting design. This creative tool lives separate from our image library — every photo and graphic there is 100% authentic and human-made.
