Three tabs — Text, Background and Effects — give you everything you need for a great cover, and nothing that gets in your way.
Type that fits your story
Place titles, subtitles and your name anywhere on the artboard. Drag, resize and rotate them right on the canvas, then tune weight, spacing, color and shadow.

Upload any photo or illustration — large images are scaled down automatically. Zoom in and shift it until the frame is just right.
7 presets, 9 retro palettes
Duotone, dithering, pixel art, ASCII, film grain, scanlines and vignettes.
