Step 4 - Create Your Front Cover

The AI cover creator lets you generate a great front cover, which you can use for your Kindle version and more. Once you have your front cover, it will be used within your full wrap paperback cover. Here's how to create a front cover with Book Leopard:

• The AI tool will recommend you 3 design concepts for your front cover, customized to your book

 

• If you want updates to one or more of the concepts, just type in what you'd like changed

 

• Once you choose your concept, you'll have a chance to confirm the text you'd like to see on your cover

 

• If your book happens to be in a series, you'll also have a chance to upload an existing series cover for the AI to match your new cover's overall look to, giving your series covers design consistency

 

• Your front-cover image will then be created

 

• If you'd like updates to it, just type in what you'd like changed, no need for you to do any drag-and-drop graphic-design work 

---

Step 5 - Confirm Your Paperback Details

Once you have your front cover, you'll move directly to the paperback-cover area of Book Leopard. Here, you'll need to confirm two aspects of your paperback cover:

• Back-cover text. The AI will recommend text for your back cover. You can directly edit it, if you'd like.

 

• Dimensions. Choose your desired paperback width and height, in inches. All of Amazon KDP's print-on-demand options are available. Next, you'll need to enter the width of your book spine, which is based on the size of your book's printed interior. Book Leopard makes this easy, giving you direct access to a KDP spine-width calculator - enter your printed page count and see your corresponding spine width.

Step 6 - Generate Your Full Wrap Paperback Cover

​In just seconds, Book Leopard will generate a fantastic full wrap paperback cover, which will contain your front cover, a spine, and back cover, with your confirmed text on it.

If you happen to want changes to the paperback cover, all you need to do is type in your request and the AI will reflect your update. Again, no need for you to do any drag-and-drop graphic-design work.

Once you've created your paperback cover, you can download it as a PDF file, automatically formatted to meet KDP's specifications for print on demand.

If you'd like, you can also use Book Leopard's additional marketing features, such as its A+ content generator.
