Frequently asked questions
Is Coverly really free?
Yes. You can generate 5 AI covers per day at no cost and without an account. One-time template packs and unlock codes add more daily generations or ready-made designs—there is no subscription in V1.
What KDP trim sizes are supported?
Phase 1 focuses on the most common paperback trims: 6×9, 5×8, 8×10 and 8.5×11 inches, each with the standard 0.125 inch bleed and safety margins. The estimated spine width is always shown with a reminder to confirm it in the official KDP calculator.
Can I export a full front–spine–back wrap?
Yes. The studio composes front, spine and back on one canvas and exports both a high-resolution PNG and a print-ready PDF with embedded fonts, which is the format KDP recommends for paperback uploads.
Who owns the AI artwork and can I use it commercially?
You are responsible for reviewing the rights of AI-generated backgrounds and for clearing any third-party material. Coverly does not promise commercial usability, and you must not upload images of celebrities or copyrighted characters.
Do I have to disclose AI use to KDP?
The generated background is AI-generated content—AI created the image itself, even though you add the title. Amazon KDP requires you to disclose AI-generated images during upload; AI-assisted editing of your own work is a different category.

The free KDP cover generator built for Amazon self-publishers
Coverly is a free KDP cover generator made for independent authors who need a book cover maker for KDP without learning design software or paying for an annual subscription. Most new publishers start with the same problem: the manuscript is finished, but a professional-looking cover still feels weeks away. Coverly compresses that process into about three minutes by combining AI-generated background artwork with book-grade title typesetting and the trim, bleed and spine math that Amazon KDP expects.
The cover is the single most important marketing asset on a KDP book page, and it has to work twice as hard: it must remain legible as a thumbnail in search results and feel credible at full size on the product page. That is why Coverly handles the typography separately from the artwork. The AI model produces a text-free visual in the same aspect ratio as your chosen canvas—no squaring and cropping that destroys pixels—while your title, subtitle and author name are rendered as crisp, editable type. You stay in control of fonts, size, tracking, color, stroke and shadow instead of hoping an image model can spell.
Whether you are publishing cozy mystery paperbacks, low-content journals and workbooks, or serious nonfiction, the workflow is the same. Pick a genre and one of the standard KDP trim sizes (including 6×9, 5×8, 8×10 and 8.5×11), generate artwork, add your title, then export. The studio calculates the estimated spine width from your page count, applies the standard 0.125 inch bleed and safety margins, and composes a complete front–spine–back wrap. Downloads include a high-resolution PNG and a print-ready PDF with embedded fonts, including a subset for Chinese titles.
You can start completely free—five AI covers per day, with no login required. When you need more volume or a head start, browse the Gumroad template packs, including a free KDP cover template cozy mystery style, or redeem a one-time unlock code for a higher daily quota. Before you upload, read the blog for trim-size guides, typography breakdowns, AI disclosure rules and real case studies from KDP authors. Coverly keeps the complicated publishing math under the hood, so you can spend your time writing the next book.
