How Do I Make a Book Cover on Canva?

Last updated on September 27, 2022 @ 11:58 am

As an avid reader, I am always drawn to a book by its cover. Whether it’s the color, the font, or the design, the cover is the first thing that catches my eye.

So, when I decided to write my first book, I knew that I wanted to create a beautiful cover that would stand out from the rest. But, with so many options out there, I wasn’t sure where to start. That’s when I found Canva.

Canva is a free online design platform that is perfect for creating professional-looking designs for your book cover. With over 1 million templates and tools available, all of varying levels of complexity, you can create a custom book cover that is perfect for your book.

And the best part? You don’t need any prior design experience to use it!

Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to make a book cover on Canva:

1. Go to www.canva.com and create a free account.

2. Once you’re logged in, click on “Create a Design” and select “Book Cover” from the list of options.

3. Choose a template that you like and click on “Edit this design.” You can also start from scratch by selecting “Create blank.”

4. To change the background color or add an image, click on the “Background” tab in the left-hand menu.

5. To add text, click on the “Text” tab and start typing away! Be sure to use different fonts and colors to make your text pop against the background.

6. Once you’re happy with your design, click on “Download” in the top-right corner and select your preferred file format (JPEG or PNG). And that’s it!

PRO TIP: If you are not familiar with Canva, we recommend that you take some time to explore the platform and familiarize yourself with how it works before attempting to create a book cover. While it is possible to create a book cover on Canva, there is a learning curve involved and it may not be the best platform for someone who is unfamiliar with design or graphic editing software.

So there you have it! A step-by-step guide on how to make a book cover on Canva.
