The complete guide to a cover that sells
Your cover is your best marketing asset
Readers judge books by their covers — literally. On Amazon, your cover is a thumbnail smaller than a postage stamp, competing against thousands of titles in the same category. A professional book cover design signals genre, tone and quality in under a second, and it is the single highest-leverage investment a self-published author can make.
Bestseller lists tell the same story in every genre: covers that follow genre conventions — the right imagery, the right typography, the right color palette — consistently outsell covers that don't. CoverForge encodes those conventions into every genre preset.
Made for Amazon KDP, Kobo and IngramSpark
CoverForge exports your ebook cover at 1600 × 2400 pixels in a 2:3 ratio — exactly Amazon KDP's recommended specification — as a high-quality PNG that also meets the requirements of Kobo Writing Life, Apple Books, Google Play Books and Draft2Digital.
No templates to resize, no DPI guesswork: pick a genre, generate your artwork, set your title in professional typography and download a file that passes every store's validation the first time.
AI cover generator vs. hiring a designer
A freelance book cover designer charges between $150 and $600 per cover, with days or weeks of turnaround and a limited number of revisions. An AI book cover generator gives you unlimited iterations in real time — and CoverForge adds what raw AI image tools cannot: real, licensed typography composed over the artwork, laid out the way traditional publishers do it.
For a fraction of the price of a single designer cover, you can try several directions for the same book, refresh a whole series, or A/B test your thumbnail on Amazon ads.
Every genre, from epic fantasy to non-fiction
Fantasy book covers, romance covers, thriller covers, science fiction, horror, cozy mystery, literary fiction and non-fiction: every CoverForge genre ships with its own art direction and font pairing — Cinzel for epic fantasy, Playfair Display for romance, Bebas Neue for thrillers.
Describe your scene in one sentence, in your own language, and get an original, royalty-free cover artwork generated exclusively for your book.
Full paperback covers: back, spine and front in one PDF
Publishing a paperback on Amazon KDP requires more than a front image: you need a full wrap cover — back cover, spine and front cover in a single print-ready PDF, with bleed, at 300 DPI, and a spine width calculated from your exact page count and paper type. CoverForge builds that file for you: type your back-cover blurb, enter your page count, and download a PDF that uploads straight into KDP Print or IngramSpark.
The spine calculator applies Amazon's official thickness formulas (white and cream paper), spine text is placed only when your book is thick enough to allow it, and the ISBN barcode zone is reserved exactly where Amazon prints it. No template, no DPI math, no rejected files.
Questions
Do I own the cover?
Yes. Paid exports include a full commercial license. The artwork is generated exclusively for you and is not shared with other users.
Can I use it on Amazon KDP?
Yes — the HD export is 1600 × 2400 px, which meets Amazon's recommended ebook cover specification.
Why not just use Midjourney?
Raw AI images fail as covers because typography sells the book. CoverForge composes real, licensed fonts over the art — crisp at any size, laid out like traditional publishers do it.
What if I don't like the artwork?
Regenerate as many times as you like before exporting. Only the export is paid.
Can I make the full paperback cover (back + spine)?
Yes — the Print pack exports a single print-ready PDF wrap: back cover with your blurb, spine sized from your page count and paper type, and front cover, with bleed and the ISBN barcode zone, ready to upload to KDP Print or IngramSpark.
