What is Book Cover Generator?
Book Cover Generator drafts original cover concepts in square 1:1 or landscape 16:9 from your book's genre, premise, and tone. It composes imagery with conventional title and author zones kept readable, so you can evaluate how the concept works with type before any text is placed — final typography belongs in your design tool.
Manuscript finished, cover budget not?
Explore genre-appropriate cover directions before committing to a designer — or get a presentable self-publishing cover base with title space already considered.

FAQ
Should the generated cover include the title?
No — generated lettering is unreliable. Ask for clear title and author zones and set real type in an editor.
Does it know genre conventions?
Name the genre explicitly — thriller, cozy fantasy, literary — and the composition follows those shelf expectations.
Does the result include a spine and back cover?
No. This preset creates a front-cover concept; calculate spine width and build the full print wrap with your publisher's template.
Where are generated images stored?
Signed-in generation writes completed image bytes to private storage.
What happens when generation fails?
A confirmed no-result failure releases reserved Credits. If the outcome cannot be confirmed, the run stays in reconciliation rather than being reported as free.
