Demo: Creating Print-Ready Covers from Ebooks

What do you do if you have a great cover for your ebook, but you want to make your book available for print.

You not only need a full wrap that includes the spine and back cover, but you also need a higher resolution file (and potentially flaps for a hardcover dust jacket!)

Today, we share different approaches that you can use to create your covers, including:

  • simple solid-background covers
  • busy edge-to-edge artwork
  • reusing or expanding original imagery
  • duplicating and reversing existing artwork
  • and using AI tools to expand images

All while considering print-on-demand binding shift and barcode placement, with walkthrough demos in Canva and Photoshop.
