AI book cover generator for KDP
Most AI tools hand you a square picture with garbled letters baked in. This one briefs the art the way a publisher does — vertical 2:3, empty space reserved for the title, no text in the image — and then your title is typeset in the studio, in your genre's own typeface.
You write one sentence about your book, pick a genre and three curator settings, and the studio turns that into a print-ready 6×9 cover: AI makes the art, the free studio sets the typography and exports a 300 DPI file with no watermark.
- Write the brief — genre, one sentence, and three curator chips (light, composition, texture). No prompt engineering, no seeds, no model picker.
- Get a proof — one image per credit, 1280×1920, composed so the upper third stays calm for your title.
- Set the typography — the proof lands on the canvas and your title is typeset in your genre's display face, then you export a print-ready PDF or PNG.
Try the brief now
Write one sentence about your book, then pick your cover format, genre and style. The brief travels into the studio with you — free, and no AI call is made on this page.
What's free and what costs
The studio is free: templates, stock photography, full-wrap layout, spine maths, 300 DPI export, no watermark, no signup. AI art is the paid part — one credit per proof, one-time credit packs, no subscription. Writing the brief below costs nothing and never calls the AI.
Frequently asked questions
Does the AI write text on the cover?
No — and that is deliberate. The prompt forbids letters in the image and reserves the upper third. Your title is real, editable text on the canvas, set in your genre's typeface, so you can change a word without regenerating anything.
Can I sell a book with an AI cover on Amazon KDP?
Amazon allows AI-assisted content but asks you to disclose AI use when you publish. The generation runs through a paid commercial API, so the output is cleared for commercial use. Check KDP's current content guidelines before you upload.
What does it cost?
One credit per proof. Credit packs are one-time payments — nothing renews. The studio itself, including export at 300 DPI, stays free.
Which size does it produce?
Proofs are 1280×1920 (2:3), the shape of a book cover, and the studio scales them to your exact KDP trim with bleed and spine.
