Do I own the rights to my book cover design?

Yes. Upon final payment, 100% of the rights to the final design are transferred to you. You are free to use the cover for eBook, print, and marketing materials worldwide without any royalties to us.

What files do I get for KDP and IngramSpark?

You receive a production-ready PDF for the paperback/hardcover wrap (CMYK, 300dpi) and a high-resolution JPG/TIFF for the eBook cover (RGB). We ensure all barcode placement and bleed settings match your printer's specific templates.

Do you use AI art or stock photos?

We primarily use licensed stock photography from premium libraries (Depositphotos, Shutterstock) combined with heavy photo-manipulation and custom typography. We do NOT use raw AI-generated art for final covers unless explicitly requested for a specific surrealist style, and even then, it is heavily modified.

How long does the book cover design process take?

The typical timeline is 7-10 days for the initial concepts. Revisions are usually turned around within 24-48 hours. Most projects are completed within 2 weeks.
