Book Cover: How to Design Book Covers with AI

Don't judge a book by its cover — but everyone does. A great book cover sells books. AI can design professional book covers in seconds. Here's how on Crevisto.

What the Book Cover tool does

The Book Cover tool generates book covers from your description. The result includes:

• Professional design — polished, publication-quality
• Genre-appropriate — matches your book's genre
• Eye-catching — stands out in stores and online
• Readable text space — room for title and author
• Print-ready — high-resolution for printing

How to design a book cover

1. Visit the Book Cover tool

2. Enter your book title and genre

3. Click "Generate"

4. Download your book cover

Tips for best results

• Include the genre — "sci-fi thriller" or "romance" helps the AI match the style
• Include the mood — "dark", "whimsical", "mysterious" helps
• Generate multiple times — each cover is unique
• Pick the best one — choose the one that fits your book

Using the CLI

curl -fsSL https://crevisto.com/install.sh | sh

  slug=$(echo "$book" | tr ' ' '-' | tr '[:upper:]' '[:lower:]' | tr -d ':')

done
