Accessing Templates

Open your book in the editor and click the Cover tab at the top of the screen. The Templates view is the default, so you will see the template gallery right away. If you were previously in the AI Generate view, click the Templates toggle in the top-right corner to switch back.

Browsing the Gallery

The template gallery displays all available covers in a grid layout. Each template is shown as a thumbnail at the standard 6:9 book cover ratio, with its name displayed below. Scroll through the gallery to see all 23+ options.

Templates are designed to cover a wide range of genres and aesthetics, so take your time browsing. The gallery includes designs suited for business, wellness, personal development, science, lifestyle, education, and more.

Selecting a Template

Click any template thumbnail to select it as your active cover. The selected template is highlighted with a blue ring (ring-2 ring-blue-500) and a checkmark icon appears over it, making it easy to see which cover is currently active.

The preview panel on the right side of the Cover tab immediately updates to show a larger version of your selection along with the template name and a "Selected template" label. This gives you a clear view of the design before exporting.

To change your selection, simply click a different template. The highlight moves to the new choice and the preview updates instantly.
