Book Cover Design : Online Cover Designer
Creating Book Cover Images Online
Book Covers can be designed online from the Copysafe PDF dashboard and then saved, download or sent by email. The Book Cover Designer will create a full sized image and a thumbnail of each design, saving your settings for comparison and future use. All templates provide the ability to use any background color or background image.
Background & Cover Images
New images can be uploaded for full background images and featured middle images. Or you can select from the 100 odd stock images and textures already provided. Any image can be uploaded, even images straight from your digital camera, as you will be able to select all or partial areas of the image and have them cropped to size and automatically adjusted for web use. The images displayed while editing are full size, as they appear in real life. For example the normal paperback sized is used which is 314 x 507 pixels (10.5 cm wide x 17.8 cm high).
