Most of what a book needs to look finished is its front. The designer lays one out in the browser — templates, type, shapes and your own images — and saves it straight onto the book.
Starting points
A few of the starting points. Every part of one can be changed — type, colour, shapes, your own images — and new starting points are added over time.
The editor, recorded as it runs: a starting point, a heading in your own words, type and colour, a shape, freehand, undo, and a file at the end of it.
Type in any face and size, colour by eye or by hex, shapes, opacity and layer order, freehand drawing, your own photographs with filters — and undo behind all of it. Or begin from a blank cover with nothing on it but what you put there.
Front and back, outside and in. Inner faces are optional and sit behind their outer cover, the way a real binding works.
A saved cover can be opened again later and edited, rather than being a flattened image you have to rebuild from memory.
The designer is part of the paid plans. Uploading your own cover art is not — that works on every plan, including Free, so a book never has to go out bare.
If a plan lapses, covers you have already designed keep rendering on your books exactly as they are. You simply cannot open the editor again until the plan is back — and you can still replace or remove a cover at any time.
