Create your book cover

A book cover creator that saves you time.

If you're self-publishing a book, you'll know that writing it is only part of the process. You also need to market it, and that requires a descriptive and eye-catching book cover. You may need the expertise of a designer or artist, too. And they're not cheap. But with Adobe Spark, you can create slick, professional book covers from the comfort of your own home.

How to make a book cover.

Start with inspiration.

We hook you up with thousands of professionally designed templates, so you're never starting from a blank canvas. Search by platform, task, aesthetic, mood, or color to have fresh inspiration at your fingertips. Once you find a graphic to start from, just tap or click to open the document in the editor.

Remix it to make it your own.

There are lots of ways to personalize your book cover templates. Change up the copy and font. Sub out the imagery with your photos. Or browse from thousands of free images right in Adobe Spark. Spend as little or as much time as you want to make the graphic your own. With a premium plan, you can even auto-apply your brand logo, colors, and fonts, so you're always #onbrand.

Amp up the flair.

It's easy to add extra flair and personality to your projects with Adobe Spark's exclusive design assets. Add animated stickers from GIPHY or apply a text animation for short-form graphic videos in one tap. We've taken care of all the boring technical stuff so you can focus on your message and style. You can also add collaborators to your project, so you can have more hands-on-deck bringing your design to life.

Resize to make your content go further.

Gone are the days of having to memorize image dimensions for every single platform. Once you've landed on a design you like, you can easily modify it for any printed need or social network by using Adobe Spark's handy, auto-magical resize feature. Duplicate the project, hit resize, and select the platform you want to adapt it for, and our AI will take care of the rest. Boom. Content for all your channels in a fraction of the time.

Save and share your custom book cover.

Once your design is complete, hit that publish button and share it with others. Adobe Spark saves your creations, so you can always revisit your project if you need to update it in the future.

Design a cover that tells a story.

Every book has an identity of its own, so it's only right that it has a unique and distinctive cover. You don't have to worry about making your work stand out from the competition when you have Adobe Spark at your disposal. Several customization options allow you to inject your creativity and originality into your book cover. Think about what story you want your book cover to tell. Remember that this is the first impression the reader will have of your book. Try various filters, adjust the color palette, and play around with the other options until your book cover is just right.
