Everything the cover tool makes
Not just a picture for the front: the tool builds the whole cover your printer needs, and you change it in your own words.
-
Front, spine and back
The full wrap in one print PDF, with bleed, sized to your trim size and page count.

Bestseller analysis
Name up to three bestsellers as models. Bookfairy picks up what works in your genre – colour palette, imagery, layout – and designs an original cover. We never take over titles, fonts, characters or logos of other books.
-
More fronts
None of the three drafts fits? You get three new ones in other styles for free, then three more for $2.4020 tokens each time.
-
Translate a cover
Same design, new language: title, subtitle and back text are swapped, the layout stays.
-
Change the trim size
From 6 x 9 to 5.5 x 8.5 inches, another paper or a new page count: the cover is rebuilt for the new size and spine.
-
Audiobook cover
Square, at least 2400 x 2400 pixels, without barcode, as audiobook platforms ask for it.
-
Edit an existing cover
Upload your cover, swap barcode or logo, move elements, adjust it to new measurements.
The whole cover, not just the front.
For a paperback, the printer needs one file with back, spine and front plus bleed. That is what you get, sized to your book.
- Front
Title, subtitle, author and motif. It is also your ebook cover.
- Spine
Width from page count and paper. Title and author on it when the spine is wide enough.
- Back
Blurb, author line, publisher, in the same style as the front.
- Bleed
About 3 mm beyond the trim on every edge, so no white line shows after cutting.
- Barcode
EAN-13 from your ISBN, in the place printers expect.
- Logo
Your publisher logo on the back next to the barcode, if you upload one.
Book cover design that knows the print specs
Describe your book, name up to three bestsellers from your genre if you like, and get cover drafts. The finished cover comes with front, back and spine, sized to your trim size and page count, as a print-ready PDF.
Most covers fail on technical details, not on taste: a spine that is too wide, text inside the trim area, a low-resolution image. The cover tool sizes the wrap from your page count and paper type and keeps text inside the safe area. You choose the look; the measurements are handled.

Questions about Cover
What happens to the bestsellers I name?
Bookfairy picks up what works in your genre – colour palette, imagery, layout – and designs an original cover.
Titles, fonts, characters and logos of other books are never taken over. Model books only guide style and market fit. Your result is your own original work.
Is the barcode on the cover?
Yes, if you enter your ISBN: the EAN-13 barcode is placed on the back.
You can also upload your publisher logo; it goes on the back as well.
Can I change the cover after it is finished?
Yes. Describe in your own words what should change on the front or the back. The spine stays as it is and the print PDF is rebuilt.
3 changes per cover are included, each further one costs $1.2010 tokens. Every version stays available for download.
Can I use the cover commercially?
Yes, for your own book projects, without time limit. As with all AI-generated images, we cannot guarantee that no similar motif exists elsewhere.
Does it fit Amazon KDP?
The wrap is sized with bleed for your trim size and page count, so it matches what KDP's cover calculator expects. Check the proof copy before you publish.
What do I get for free?
Three drafts in low resolution with a watermark. You only pay if you want to keep one.
