Frequently asked questions
Will the title text be correct?
No. Treat generated lettering as a placeholder and add the verified title and author text in an editable design file.
Can it make a complete paperback wrap?
This page creates an image concept. A real wrap needs measured trim, spine, bleed, and back-cover content prepared separately.
