Frequently asked questions.

What are standard book cover sizes?
Popular book sizes start at 4.25” by 6.87” and range up to 6” by 9” in size. However, you can create a custom size for your book based on your needs. Consider the cover type (paperback or hardcover), number of pages, and genre when making a decision about what size your book should be.
What makes a good book cover?
The secret to a good book cover design is to keep it simple with a hint of intrigue, all the while maximising on the cover space so you can catch someone’s attention with your cover from across the bookstore. Use impactful imagery or illustrations and bold typography, a tagline, endorsement, or award.
What kind of images should I use on my book cover?
Make sure your images are high quality and the correct resolution for printing. Also confirm that you have the rights to use any images you feature on your cover. Use our Photoshop-worthy effects to enhance, edit, or add filters to your image.
Can I create my own book cover template?
Any new or existing project can be turned into a shareable book cover template. Simply click on the three-dot menu at the left of the Download button and follow the steps to turn your design into a template.
