  • Titles spelled right

    The title, subtitle and author name are set as real type in the fonts you choose, not painted into the art, so every letter is what you typed.

  • Readable as a thumbnail

    Store pages show a cover a few centimetres tall. The title and the main image are checked at that size before you see the result.

    Every crop from one picture

  • A series that matches

    Keep the type, layout and colour system from book one, so book two and book three sit together on the shelf as a set.

  • Edits in plain words

    Say move the title higher or make the sea stormier, and only that part of the cover changes, the lettering left where you put it.

Frequently asked questions

Will the title be spelled correctly?

Yes. The title, subtitle and author name are set as real text in the fonts you pick, so they print exactly as you typed them and you can change them at any time.

What sizes can I export?

Front covers at the sizes Kindle, Apple Books and other stores ask for, and full print wraps for common paperback and hardback trims, with bleed included.

Can it make the spine and back cover?

Yes. Enter the page count and trim size and Chatly works out the spine width, then lays out the back with space for the blurb and a barcode.

Can I use the cover commercially?

Yes. Covers you make are yours to publish and sell with your book, in print and as an ebook.

Can I keep a series consistent?

Yes. Start book two from book one's cover and Chatly keeps the type, layout and colour system, changing only the art and the title.
