A free library of real book cover styles
Does your AI book cover look… like this?
Yeah. We’ve all been there.
Before → After
Same title. Same AI. Different taste.
Drag the slider. On the left: what you get from “make me a fantasy book cover.” On the right: what you get when the prompt was written by someone who studied more than 3,300 real ones.
The ‘after’ covers were generated by an AI image model using this site’s prompts. No designers were harmed. Several were consulted.

Prompt studio
Tune it. Make it yours.
Your title, your author, your palette — baked into every prompt. Nudge a slider and the wording rewrites itself, the way a designer would brief it.
Your prompt auto-updates
Professional book cover, portrait 2:3. A bold, ornate engraved filigree composition with a brooding, regal mood. Title “Shadows of Destiny” in yellow-gold display serif; author “Mara Vale” below. Palette: coral red and oxblood. Finish: matte, flat ink. Text spelled exactly, print-ready.
Stop settling for galaxy swirls.
Your book deserves a cover that looks like it came from a publisher, not a prompt box. It’s free and it takes a minute.
