Four genres in one portrait format. Each cover below is a real model output from a short text description.
Fantasy book cover
A glowing object above a fortress gives an epic fantasy its focal point; the title sits in open sky.
Non-fiction book cover
Self-help and business titles lean on one simple object, calm color, and a large readable title.
Romance cover art
Leave the words out for artwork only, then set your title and name in a layout editor.

How do I make a book cover with AI?
Describe your book's genre, main image, and mood, put the exact title and author name in quotes, then generate a portrait cover and check every letter before you download. One clear image works better than a summary of the plot: a single streetlight for a thriller, a burning crown for epic fantasy, a paper boat for a calm self-help title. Pick the Genre that matches your shelf so the palette and lettering style follow its conventions. Keep the title short and judge the result at thumbnail size, because that is how most readers first meet book cover art.

AI book cover generator or book cover maker?
Template tools such as Canva or KDP Cover Creator arrange your own text and images. This page generates new cover artwork from a description.
| Your decision | This AI generator | Template cover maker |
|---|---|---|
| Starting point | A description of your book | A template plus your own images |
| New artwork | Generates a new illustrated cover | Uses your photos or stock images |
| Title and author | Requested in quotes; check each letter | Typed in and fully editable |
| Spine, back, bleed | Not included; front cover only | Some tools build a full wrap |
| Output | 848 × 1264 px portrait image | An exported layout at your chosen size |

Kindle, print, and cover text: what to check
The default setting returns a 2:3 portrait image of 848 × 1264 pixels. Amazon's Kindle Direct Publishing help page on eBook covers (kdp.amazon.com, checked September 2026) lists 2,560 × 1,600 pixels (height by width) as the ideal ebook cover size and say covers under 500 pixels on the shortest side are not displayed; they prefer JPEG files in RGB at 5MB or less. The output clears that display minimum but sits below the ideal size, so enlarge it with an AI upscaler rather than stretching it, check the quality, and allow for a slight crop, because 1.6:1 is a little taller than 2:3.
A paperback needs more than a front. The full wrap adds a spine and a back cover, and its size depends on trim and page count. This tool makes the front artwork only, so build the wrap with KDP's cover tools or your layout software and check the current requirements of your store or printer.
Lettering is a request, not a guarantee. In our tests the default model, Nano Banana 2 Lite, spelled short titles and author names correctly, yet an early titled run came back as a photographed 3D book instead of a flat cover. The page's prompt now asks for flat edge-to-edge artwork and adds no text unless you give exact words in quotes; if a mockup or a stray word still appears, regenerate. In the same test, GPT Image 2 in Renoise Images produced the cleanest flat cover at a higher cost per image, so use it when a cover carries a subtitle or tagline.

What creators say about Renoise
Real feedback from creators who use Renoise AI to make videos, images and ads.
Renoise is pretty easy to use, with a clean and smooth interface. The results from Seedance 2.5 also feel noticeably smoother in action sequences.
Renoise Ai is a good tool for making ai videos and photos. it puts several Ai models in one place, so you don't need to use many different apps.
あまりAIツールを使ったりしたことなかったですが、キャラクターの固定や動画を続いて作成できて使いやすいです。これからどんどん進んでいくアップデートが楽しみです。
Renoise has been a great platform for AI creativity. The tools are easy to use, the experience is smooth, and it makes creating content more enjoyable and efficient. I really appreciate the work the team is doing and look forward to seeing more improvements. Highly recommended!
What I like about Renoise AI compared to other platforms: Fast generation speed: Slow generation takes up way too much time, but Renoise AI is surprisingly about 30% faster. Intuitive and user-friendly UI: Cheaply made platforms have terrible UIs that make me not even want to log in, but Renoise is very clean and convenient. Remembers my previous settings: It helpfully remembers my last workspace settings. Some odd platforms force you to re-adjust everything every single time you generate a video, which is extremely frustrating. Overall preference: For all these reasons, Renoise AI is definitely my preferred platform. Thank you!
Renoise is your go to one stop all for ai creators. all view and use all models in one place, for any type of content you have your mind on!
I have a creat experience with the app. Consistent characters but also unique. THere were some issues with storyline continuity and non-typical humanoid characters.

AI Book Cover Generator questions
1.Is the AI book cover generator free?
Following Renoise on X and YouTube earns 10 credits each, up to 20 shared credits. An unused balance currently covers five default book covers. After those credits are used, further generation is paid. Check the live quote before starting.
2.Can it add my title and author name?
Yes. Put the exact words in quotes in your description, such as a title and an author name. Short titles work best. Check every letter before downloading, and use a layout editor if you need precise typography or later text changes.
3.What size is the book cover image?
The default returns a 2:3 portrait image of 848 × 1264 pixels. That suits screens, previews, and storefront thumbnails, but it is not a print master. Upscale it or rebuild it at your printer's required size before submitting.
4.Can I use it for a Kindle ebook cover?
Yes, as the starting artwork. KDP lists 2,560 × 1,600 pixels as the ideal ebook cover size, so enlarge it with an AI upscaler rather than stretching it, crop it to that ratio, and confirm the current Kindle requirements before uploading your file.
5.Does it make a KDP paperback cover with spine?
No. It creates the front cover only. A paperback wrap also needs a spine and a back cover sized to your trim and page count, so assemble it with KDP's cover tools or your own layout software.
6.Can I make a Wattpad cover?
Yes. Describe your story, pick a genre, and generate a portrait cover with a short title. Check Wattpad's current cover size guidance before uploading, and crop or resize the downloaded image to match it.
7.Can I sell a book with an AI-generated cover?
Review Renoise's current terms and your retailer's content rules before publishing, including any rules about disclosing AI-generated content. Avoid recognizable characters, real people's likenesses, logos, and artwork you do not have the rights to use.
8.Can I upload my own photo or artwork?
Not on this page; it starts from a text description only. Use the full Renoise image workspace for reference-image workflows, or place an existing photo in a layout editor and add your title there.
9.What is the best AI book cover generator?
The best choice depends on your genre, how much text the cover needs, the file size you must deliver, and cost. Test a few prompts at thumbnail size and compare spelling, composition, and whether the output is a flat cover.
