Book Cover Maker is a cover design app for writers. Make a cover for your Wattpad story, your eBook or your printed book, then the posts and banners to announce it. Start from a genre template or a short brief, change it with a few taps, and export a file that is ready to upload or print. No design experience needed. COVERS FOR EVERY GENRE Templates are organised by genre, so your cover signals the right story before anyone reads a word: • Romance and New Adult • Fantasy and Paranormal • Horror and Mystery • Science Fiction • Action and Adventure • Teen Fiction and Fanfiction • Billionaire • Humor • Non Fiction Every template is included. There are no locked templates. MADE FOR WATTPAD • Start from the Wattpad cover size (512 x 800 pixels), so nothing is cropped when you upload • Send a finished cover to the Wattpad app in one tap and attach it to your story • Start from Wattpad itself: in the Wattpad app open Edit Story, tap Edit Story Cover, then Create cover with Desygner, and the cover opens here, ready to edit A REAL DESIGN EDITOR • Layers, text, shapes, images and multiple pages • Fonts, photos, icons and stickers included • Remove a photo background in one tap, for a character portrait or your author photo • Change the canvas size for a paperback, a square audiobook tile or a banner • Unlimited undo and redo AI THAT HELPS YOU FINISH • Start from a brief when you do not know where to begin • Generate images, text and title ideas using AI credits • Rewrite, shorten or translate the text in a design MORE THAN THE COVER The same app makes the promo kit around your book: • Social media posts and stories for the release • Web banners and YouTube thumbnails for your author channels • Posters and stickers BRING IN WHAT YOU ALREADY HAVE Import from your iPhone or iPad, from Google Drive, Dropbox and OneDrive, or straight from your Photos. • Import a PDF and edit the text and images inside it • Import Adobe Illustrator (AI), SVG and InDesign (IDML) artwork • Bring in designs from other design tools and keep editing YOUR SERIES, KEPT CONSISTENT • Brand kit: save your fonts and colours once, then apply them to every cover in a series • Asset library: keep your character art, logos and photos in one place • Share a workspace so an author and a designer work on the same covers ON EVERY DEVICE Start a cover on your iPhone and finish it on your iPad or computer.

Press the shutter and photos taken at that spot, years ago, gather around you. Where you are standing right now, or anywhere on Earth you pick on the map. They arrive on a corkboard, one at a time. Tap one to see the year it was taken, where it came from, and how far it is from where you stand. Keep the ones you like in color-coded albums. ■ B mode — shoot where you are Point the camera, press the shutter. Old photos from the surrounding area gather. ■ P mode — go to another era, another place Choose a decade with the slider and a location on the map. Everest, or the town you grew up in. ■ What you can do - Collect old photos near you with the shutter - Browse them on a corkboard, tap to enlarge - See the year, the source, and the distance - Save to color-coded albums - Export to your Photos library ■ About the photos Photos come from public archives around the world. Cities and historic places turn up plenty; empty places may turn up only a few. Copyright belongs to each source. ■ Before you start Requires access to location, camera, and photos, plus an internet connection. The camera only looks backward — hence the minus.
