Even though we've all been told since childhood to never judge a book by its cover, the fact is that book cover design does attract readers. An eye-catching design can make the difference between a book that sells and one that stalls, so don't let your future bestseller get passed over due to a so-so cover design. Adobe Spark allows you to make your own book cover for free so your book gets all the attention it deserves.
A book cover creator that saves you time
Adobe Spark is a free book cover maker that lets you craft a vision from your writing. With it, you can find a book cover template that suits your genre and style, and you can customize it until you have a sleek e-book cover that's perfect for your verbal art.

How to make a book cover
-
Select an appropriate format for your cover
Your first step is to choose the correct sizing so your graphics and text turn out exactly as you want them. A portrait-oriented, rectangular size is typical for a book, but you can alternatively use a custom size to really stand out from the crowd.
-
Work within your genre
Reflect on who you are as a writer, and what genres your writing fits into. This will help you determine a theme around which to center your cover.
-
Bring your words to life through visuals
Have a photo in mind for your cover? Simply upload it to your template and edit it as you see fit. Or, if you aren't quite sure what you want for an image, scroll through free stock photos and find something attention-grabbing and suited to your work.
-
Make your text a treat to read
Next, you can adjust your font so that it is custom-tailored to your title and other cover text. Select a font that is not only bold and eye-catching but also fits with the mood you're conveying.
-
Publish your cover for the world to see
Finally, your cover art is finished and ready to share. Save your cover image, and then download it for printing or attaching to your e-book. You can also spread your cover across social media to attract attention for your actual book release.
Design a cover that tells a story
Now you know the basics of how to use this e-book cover creator to form your book cover, but you can take as much time as you need to ensure your artwork is spot-on.

Boost your readership and creativity

With Adobe Spark, you can capture the essence of your words and display them for your audience, so your book speaks louder than ever.
