For every author with a finished manuscript
You Wrote the Book. Now Let’s Make It Shine
You’ve finished the writing, the editing, the revisions. Your book is ready. But something’s still missing...
Not the words. The look.
The cover. The spine. The mockup. The polish that makes it feel real.
Maybe you’re stuck waiting on a designer. Maybe you tried doing it yourself and got lost in template downloads, spine calculators, rejected files, and design software buried under a thousand features you’ll never need.
That’s exactly why EZ Cover Maker exists. You shouldn’t have to be a designer, or hire one, to bring your book to life.
Print-publishing smarts, built in
Designed for Authors First
Most design tools don’t even know what a spine is. This one was built around it.
A print cover isn’t a rectangle. It’s a wrap with a spine that changes width with every page you write, edges that get trimmed, and file rules that get covers rejected. EZ Cover Maker handles all of it for you, automatically:
- One tool for every publisher. KDP and IngramSpark, paperback and hardcover, each publisher’s exact template math built in.
- The scary math? Already done. Your canvas appears with the exact spine width, calibrated against the publishers’ own tools.
- Design on the real book, not a guess. Live trim, spine, wrap, and barcode guides right on your canvas.
- One click. One file. Ready to publish. Print-ready PDF in the exact format your publisher wants.
I tested this thing hard, real book, real specs, both publishers. The spine width came out exact for my page count, my KDP cover converted to an IngramSpark edition seamlessly, and every exported file passed the print compliance checks publishers require, first try. It actually does what it says.

Simple on purpose
How It Works (In 3 Simple Steps)
Enter your book specs
Publisher, size, page count. Just the answers you already know. Your canvas appears, correctly sized, spine and all.
Make it yours
Templates, fonts, your own artwork, or AI images. Guides show you exactly where everything is safe.
Export and publish
EZ Cover Maker double-checks your design, then one click gives you the exact file your publisher wants.
No tech skills. No downloads. Publish-ready in minutes.
Your safety net before you upload
Catch Mistakes Before the Printer Does
Rejected cover files cost you time, and with IngramSpark, revision fees. Before your file leaves the editor, a built-in preflight check inspects your design against your publisher’s rules, KDP or IngramSpark, and shows you anything worth fixing.
Sees what the printer sees
Text or artwork drifting into the trim, across the spine folds, or into the barcode zone gets flagged, measured from the actual printed ink, not rough boxes.
Plain English, click to fix
Every warning is written for authors, not printers. Click one and the exact element lights up on your canvas so you can nudge it and move on.
Tuned to your publisher
KDP and IngramSpark have different rules, so the check runs the right ones for your book. No more finding out from a rejection email a day later.
Publish wide without rebuilding
Design Once. Publish Everywhere.
Finish your KDP paperback, then seamlessly create your IngramSpark edition with your artwork, colors, and page count carried over, matched to the other publisher’s template math automatically. Softcover to hardcover works the same way. No other cover tool does this.
No Other Author Tool
Does All of This
Design tools make pretty rectangles. Mockup tools make pretty pictures. Pro software makes you learn design first. EZ Cover Maker is the only tool that designs your cover, calculates your spine, checks your file, and exports print-compliant PDFs for both KDP and IngramSpark. In one place. Built for authors.
