KDP book mockups from a flat cover file
Self-published authors upload a flat cover and wonder why it feels lifeless next to traditional titles. A paperback standing on a shelf or lying beside a mug adds weight. Send your front cover, describe the scene, and the bot builds a photo with the book in it.

Make it in TelegramMatch the scene to the genre
A cozy mystery looks right beside a blanket and tea, while a business book fits a clean desk with a notebook. Describe the room in a sentence and keep the cover large. If the title text turns soft, rerun with 'cover facing the camera, sharp and flat'. Readers judge a book by this picture before they open a sample, so choose a place that fits the promise on the cover.
Where the images go
Use the mockups in your Amazon author page, A+ style modules where available, newsletter headers and ad creative. Keep the actual cover file as the first image wherever the platform expects it. Amazon updates its image rules from time to time, so check the current guide in your KDP dashboard. Save a plain version without props for press kits and library sites.
Tips
- Say paperback or hardcover, and say the thickness in words.
- Place the book on a surface that fits the genre.
- Check the title text, since small lettering can blur.
- Make a wide version with empty space for a quote.
Questions and answers
Does the bot show my real printed book?
It paints a book from your cover. A photo of the real copy remains the honest proof.
Can I make a series stack?
Yes. Send each cover and describe the order.
What does it cost?
2 credits per image. New users get 15 free credits, so 7 images cost nothing. After that packs start at 129 Telegram Stars, about $2.6 and credits do not expire.
Does the bot work in English?
Yes. It picks up your Telegram language on first launch. You can switch it any time with /lang.
What the bot does not do
- Does not output a transparent PNG. The result is a finished 3:4 image with a background.
- Does not write listing copy, set prices or upload anything to your seller account.
- Does not guarantee exact marketplace pixel sizes: crop or resize the 3:4 image in any editor.
- Text on infographics is drawn by AI and can have letter errors in long phrases. Keep badges short and proofread.
