Why authors choose CoverLab Pro
It costs a quarter of the price. One cover is $4.99, five are $14.99 and twenty are $39.99, with no subscription. BookCoversLab starts at $19.99 per project, so five covers there cost $100 to $450 depending on tier.
Everything is included at that price. Hardcover case laminate, all 16 KDP trim sizes and four export formats (PDF, PNG, JPEG and TIFF) come with every cover. At BookCoversLab, hardcover is locked behind the $59.99+ tiers and there is no TIFF export.
You design for free and pay only when you export. Build the whole cover, check it against KDP's requirements, and decide then. Once a cover is paid for, you can re-export it for 30 days at no extra cost, so a changed page count or a typo doesn't cost you again.
It fixes size rejections for you. If KDP says your cover size doesn't match, type in the Expected size from its message and the cover resizes to fit. A checklist before every export flags size, resolution, spine and safe-zone problems.
Your artwork, no AI. CoverLab Pro is deliberately simple: you bring your own artwork or photos and it builds the full wraparound cover around them to KDP's exact specifications.
If you have your own artwork and you're publishing on Amazon KDP, CoverLab Pro gives you the correct cover for paperback or hardcover, in every format, for $4.99 or less per cover. You design for free and pay only when you're ready to export.
