What it is

Cover Studio AI is a web editor for preparing Kindle, paperback and hardcover cover files. It supports Kindle front covers and full print layouts with front, spine and back panels, calculating spine width from book settings and showing trim, bleed, safe-area, fold, hinge and barcode guides. Users can upload artwork they own or have permission to use, or generate artwork with an eligible AI plan. Typography controls and drag-and-drop positioning help arrange cover elements. Print covers export as flattened production PDFs; Kindle covers export as images at configured dimensions. A finished book can optionally have a public showcase page, while projects are not made public automatically. The free Draft plan includes layouts, artwork uploads, calculations and exports. Paid plans start at $9.99 a month. AI generation allowances reset each billing period without rollover, and subscriptions renew monthly until canceled. The tool produces cover files but does not publish books directly to Amazon or another publisher.
