Main Features

AI Cover Templates & Wrappers

Generate precise IngramSpark cover templates and flexible wrappers for front, back, and spine in one click. The generator focuses on book front cover design, back layout, and spine width, giving you multiple covers and wrapper designs that stay within IngramSpark rules. Designing covers becomes easy—no guessing, just accurate, good-looking results.

IngramSpark Cover Calculator

Our ingramspark cover calculator computes the exact trim size, bleed, and spine width for every format. Enter dimensions once, and the calculator outputs great templates you can log for later. The ingramspark cover calculator ensures each wrapper meets the hard technical rules set by IngramSpark.

Book Front Cover Design Studio

Fine-tune your book front cover design or back cover layout in real time. Add design elements, preview different designs, and experiment with good color palettes. The studio keeps your designing process simple while delivering covers and designs that look great and follow IngramSpark rules.

Auto InDesign & PDF Format Export

Export finished covers directly to print-ready PDF or layered InDesign files. Each format preserves wrapper settings, front design, back text, and spine marks, making it easy to continue designing in Adobe InDesign or any other tool.

Hardbound & Paperback Novel Support

Whether you publish a hard novel, a paperback edition, or both books, the generator adapts. It calculates wrapper thickness for hardbound boards, adds extra back flap space when needed, and creates consistent covers across all book formats.
