Guaranteed Acceptance On:
Professional book cover design is the process of creating a visually compelling front cover, spine, and back cover that communicates your book’s genre, tone, and quality at a glance. Unlike DIY tools or generic templates, professional cover design involves strategic typography selection, genre-appropriate imagery, precise color theory, and technical formatting to meet the exact print specifications of platforms like Amazon KDP and IngramSpark.
At ISBN Services, our designers combine marketing expertise with design craft to create covers that don’t just look beautiful — they sell. Every design is built to the exact pixel dimensions, bleed margins, and spine width calculations required by your publishing platform, eliminating the risk of file rejection or reprints.
Whether you need a high-impact eBook cover for Kindle, a full wraparound paperback design with spine and back cover, or a hardcover dust jacket, professional cover design ensures your book competes visually with traditionally published titles on every shelf and screen.
Choose the package that fits your publishing goals. No hidden fees.

Refine & Finalize:
We revise the artwork based on your feedback until it’s absolutely perfect.
ISBN Services offers three packages: an eBook-only cover for $99, a full print-ready wraparound design (front, spine, and back) for $249, and a “Finish My Cover” wrap for $149 if you already have front cover art. Industry-wide, custom book cover design typically ranges from $300 to $1,200 depending on the designer, making ISBN Services one of the most affordable professional options available.
You do. Once the project is finalized and delivered, you hold 100% copyright ownership of the design. You are free to use it on any platform, in any marketing materials, and for any future editions of your book without additional licensing fees.
Yes, guaranteed. ISBN Services builds every file to the exact pixel dimensions, bleed margins, color space (CMYK for print, RGB for digital), and spine width specifications required by KDP, IngramSpark, Barnes & Noble Press, and other major platforms. If a file is ever rejected for a technical formatting reason, we fix it immediately at no charge.
Initial design concepts are delivered in 3 to 5 business days. After that, revisions are typically completed within 1 to 2 business days per round. Total project timelines depend on how many revision rounds your design requires.
We offer unlimited revisions on every package. We will adjust the style, fonts, imagery, colors, and layout based on your feedback until the design matches your exact vision. There are no extra charges for revisions.
We use high-quality, commercially licensed stock images that are included in your package price at no extra cost. If you have a specific illustration, photograph, or piece of artwork you want incorporated, you can upload it during the design questionnaire step and we will integrate it into your cover.
No. eBook platforms like Kindle, Apple Books, and Kobo only display a front cover image. Our $99 eBook package provides exactly what you need: a high-resolution front cover in JPG format, sized perfectly for digital platforms. If you later decide to publish a print edition, you can upgrade to the Full Print package for the spine and back cover.
No problem. Spine width is calculated based on your final page count and paper type. If your page count changes before we finalize the design, we recalculate and adjust the spine at no additional cost. This is included as part of our standard service.
Premade covers are pre-designed templates sold on a first-come, first-served basis, typically for $50 to $150. They are faster and cheaper but offer limited customization and may not perfectly match your book’s specific genre or tone. Custom covers, like those ISBN Services creates, are designed from scratch based on your book’s unique requirements, giving you full creative control over every element.
The eBook package delivers a high-resolution JPG and PNG front cover. The Full Print and Wrap packages deliver a print-ready PDF with exact trim, bleed, and spine measurements, plus embedded barcode and ISBN. The Full Print package also includes editable source files (PSD or AI format) so you retain full design flexibility.
Yes. When you select the Full Print package, you can specify paperback or hardcover (case laminate or dust jacket) as your binding type. If you need both formats, ISBN Services offers a dual-format adaptation add-on for an additional $49, which provides a second print-ready PDF with the alternate binding’s spine and bleed specs.
Since we started offering services in 2011, we’ve prided ourselves on our transparent pricing. We don’t have hidden fees or any fine print like the other companies. What you see in our quote calculator on this page is what you’ll pay, period.
For children’s picture books, professional indexing, heavily illustrated works, or other specialized projects, standard per-page pricing may not apply. Let us build a custom plan for your book.
