SelfPub Cover Designer

SelfPub Cover Designer creates print-ready book covers for self-publishers.

One design for paperback, hardcover, ebook and audiobook, ready for Amazon KDP, IngramSpark and other print-on-demand services.

DESIGN ONCE, EXPORT EVERY EDITION
• Enter trim size, page count and paper: spine width, bleed and safe areas are calculated for you – or import the official cover template of your print service.
• All editions share the front design; each one keeps its own back, spine and flaps.
• Colored guides show bleed, safe area and folds while you work.

A REAL DESIGN TOOL
• Text in any font installed on your Mac, with outline, shadow and glow. Shapes, pen and pencil, pictures and PDF graphics.
• Pictures sit in frames: crop, mask and move them with the mouse. Remove picture backgrounds on your Mac (Pro).
• Layers, groups, ruler guides, snapping – and anchors that keep your layout in place when the trim size changes.
• Barcode from your ISBN, QR codes – for example to the review page of your book.
• Up to 300 undo steps, plus snapshots you can go back to.

START FAST
• The assistant builds a first cover in seven steps – with 8 free title styles and 36 Pro designs, grouped by genre.
• More than 150 ready-made backgrounds for every genre, from fantasy to cookbook (Pro).
• Import a finished cover as PDF or picture – the folds are detected automatically.

CHECK AND EXPORT
• The check finds text in the bleed, blurry pictures, too much ink and more – before you upload.
• The CMYK preview shows colors as they will print.
• Print covers as PDF/X-1a in CMYK, the standard print services accept (Pro).
• Ebook covers as JPEG, PNG or TIFF; square audiobook covers (Pro).
• Export sets: every edition of your book in one click.

SelfPub Cover Designer MOCKUPS
• 3D mockups of paperback, hardcover with dust jacket, e-reader, tablet and audiobook player – for ads, your website and social media. With watermark in the free version, without in Pro.

SelfPub Cover Designer MADE FOR THE MAC
• No account, no upload, no tracking, no AI services – everything happens on your Mac.
• Complete offline help, a short welcome tour and tips the first time you use a function.
