What every template does for you
- Every template is built on your book's real cover: back, spine and front, sized for your trim size, page count and paper.
- Works for Amazon KDP, IngramSpark, Barnes & Noble Press and Lulu.
- Text stays inside the safe area, nothing sits in the barcode box, and spine text stays on the spine.
- 333 free fonts, your own photos, and an optional AI cover designer.
- Designing is free. A free preview download is included. The full-size print-ready file comes with a SparkPrep book.
