Book Cover Maker is a cover design app for writers. Make a cover for your Wattpad story, your eBook or your printed book, then the posts and banners to announce it. Start from a genre template or a short brief, change it with a few taps, and export a file that is ready to upload or print. No design experience needed.
COVERS FOR EVERY GENRE
Templates are organised by genre, so your cover signals the right story before anyone reads a word:
• Romance and New Adult
• Fantasy and Paranormal
• Horror and Mystery
• Science Fiction
• Action and Adventure
• Teen Fiction and Fanfiction
• Billionaire
• Humor
• Non Fiction
Every template is included. There are no locked templates.
MADE FOR WATTPAD
• Start from the Wattpad cover size (512 x 800 pixels), so nothing is cropped when you upload
• Send a finished cover to the Wattpad app in one tap and attach it to your story
• Start from Wattpad itself: in the Wattpad app open Edit Story, tap Edit Story Cover, then Create cover with Desygner, and the cover opens here, ready to edit
A REAL DESIGN EDITOR
• Layers, text, shapes, images and multiple pages
• Fonts, photos, icons and stickers included
• Remove a photo background in one tap, for a character portrait or your author photo
• Change the canvas size for a paperback, a square audiobook tile or a banner
• Unlimited undo and redo
AI THAT HELPS YOU FINISH
• Start from a brief when you do not know where to begin
• Generate images, text and title ideas using AI credits
• Rewrite, shorten or translate the text in a design
MORE THAN THE COVER
The same app makes the promo kit around your book:
• Social media posts and stories for the release
• Web banners and YouTube thumbnails for your author channels
• Posters and stickers
BRING IN WHAT YOU ALREADY HAVE
Import from your iPhone or iPad, from Google Drive, Dropbox and OneDrive, or straight from your Photos.
• Import a PDF and edit the text and images inside it
• Import Adobe Illustrator (AI), SVG and InDesign (IDML) artwork
• Bring in designs from other design tools and keep editing
YOUR SERIES, KEPT CONSISTENT
• Brand kit: save your fonts and colours once, then apply them to every cover in a series
• Asset library: keep your character art, logos and photos in one place
• Share a workspace so an author and a designer work on the same covers
ON EVERY DEVICE
Start a cover on your iPhone and finish it on your iPad or computer. Projects sync automatically.
EXPORT AND SHARE
• PNG or JPG for Wattpad, eBook stores and social media
• PDF, with a print-ready option and a proof you can download for your printer
• High resolution for large prints
• Share a link so other people can view the cover
WHY WRITERS CHOOSE BOOK COVER MAKER
• A full design editor, not a filter over a stock photo
• Templates built genre by genre, at the sizes readers see them
• Send to Wattpad built in
• Every template is free
• One app for the cover, the eBook version, the post and the banner

Hi! I just recently found this app, and it’s an overall wonderful tool for book covers. There are so many photo and font options to choose from, not to mention I’m able to manipulate the different aspects of the cover so much! But I haven’t yet been able to use any of the covers made with your app because of one problem involving the text. After saving my progress on a cover, a black highlight suddenly appears behind all of the text. This isn’t shown while working on the cover, but is still there after downloading the otherwise finished cover. The highlight overlaps some of the text in other text boxes, covers some of the background, and essentially ruins the entire cover. I’m not sure if this is some sort of setting or flaw on my end (and I just don’t know how to find and fix it) or if it might be a bug/glitch or something? Thank you so much!

Great app but one problem
🐰Cotton Bunny🐰
I will like to start off by saying it’s a great app, and it is very helpful when it comes to making covers for my books on Wattpad. There is one problem though. Ever since the app updated a little over 2 weeks ago, it hasn’t been loading for me. I will go to open it and it would just show the title of the app, with a picture at the top of the screen, and then after about 30 seconds to a minute, it would just close the app automatically. And my internet connection doesn’t matter when it comes to this, it will do this even with a strong internet connection. I really hope you fix this because I would love to continue to use this app to make my covers for Wattpad and I would have probably given this app five stars if it wasn’t for this problem.

Useable yet not satisfactory.

I use this app occasionally for my writing on Wattpad. I have scoured the internet for other alternatives to this app, but couldn’t find any easier than this. The app is quite complicated and confusing. There isn’t a tutorial to explain how to use it, so I had to figure it out myself, which took longer than I was really willing to spend. When I say I couldn’t find anything ‘easier,’ let me make it clear that this app is difficult to use, however certain alternatives I found were much worse. I think this app has lots of potential. I’ve made some book covers I think are great on this app and are worth putting on my writing, however there are several things that could make it better.1) create a tutorial. Please. Perhaps there is one and I never found it, but I shouldn’t have to. I really think an explanation to everything could make the app so much better, and could make the experience on the app so much better too. 2) for smaller screens, like iPhone, iPod, etc, make it easier to function. When I’m zoomed in on my cover to alter the position of a photo, it’s very difficult to zoom back out without touching another photo and hurting the quality of my cover.3) organization could be so much better. Again, the reason that I feel it is unorganized could be due to the lack in instruction, therefore everything is confusing to me and feels weird.On a better note, the app is good. I would recommend it, since I can’t find anything I’d rather use at the moment, but certain changes would make the app so much more better.Thank you!-Myth

Annoyed
REI Co-Op
I have used this app many times to make covers. The problem is the app vary often gets on my nerves. Many times I will be in the process of making a cover, I will have many things on the draft and then suddenly the screen will freeze and then it well exit me out of the app. “It’s fine I have been saving after every change I make” I think to myself. Then I will look at my draft and an hours worth of work will be gone. I will end up having to make the same edits over and over again atleast six times until I am satisfied with the cover. Better yet I will lock something into place and as I am trying to move something else the locked item will move and then I have to unlock it to fix it. After two hours of this I honestly have no patience for it. Please fix this. I love using the app because I can design some amazing things but unfortunately it is causing a lot of annoyance.
