Generate Book Cover Spreads

Self-publishing platforms and print-on-demand services use this recipe to generate complete book cover spreads for KDP, IngramSpark, or other print-on-demand platforms. Calculate spine width from page count, compose back cover text with an ISBN barcode, add a rotated spine title, and place the front cover image — all in one API call at 300 DPI. Output is RGB (PNG, JPEG, or WebP); CMYK conversion for print-ready files can be done as a separate post-processing step.

Generate a print-ready book cover spread image. Use the generate_image tool with dimensions calculated from [page count] (spine width = pages x 0.75px) and these layers:

1. Background: solid-color layer for back cover area
2. Front cover: image layer with [cover image] positioned on the right half
3. Back cover text: genre label, title, blurb, and author name as text layers
4. ISBN barcode: barcode layer with [ISBN] in EAN-13 format on the back cover
5. Spine: rotated text layers with title and author name
