Turn a Flat Book Cover into Editable PSD Layers

Yes. Upload a supported JPG cover, and the AI workflow can reconstruct available text and visual elements into separate image layers. You can then export a layered PSD for further editing. The result is not an exact restoration of the original Photoshop project.

Yes. PNG is supported, along with JPG and WebP. The tool analyzes the finished image and creates available reconstructed layers that can be inspected and used for further design work.

That's the main purpose of this tool. Start with the final cover image and use AI to separate the elements it can identify. You can then work with the available layers instead of recreating the entire design manually.

You can edit supported text detected in the cover. However, ornate lettering, text blended into artwork, and special effects may need additional refinement. Always inspect the resulting composition and exported file.

Yes, when the author's name is successfully detected as editable text in the workspace. The appearance of the replacement may differ from the original lettering, especially when a custom or decorative font was used.

Not necessarily. A flattened image does not preserve the original font file. Text appearance is reconstructed or approximated, and you may need to apply the correct font manually in Photoshop.

Partly. Text the AI can read as live text is stored in the PSD as native Photoshop text layers, with the font mapped to a common one, so you can retype it with the Type tool. Stylised or ornate lettering, such as a decorative title, is kept as an image layer. Check each text layer and apply your own font where needed.

The AI can attempt to separate a clearly recognizable illustrated character from the surrounding scene. The result depends on overlap, lighting, image detail, and the quality of the original artwork.

If the character is recovered as a separate image layer, you can use that layer for layout adjustments. Areas that were hidden behind the character may have been reconstructed and should be checked before the final edit.

The workflow may separate prominent visual elements, but it does not guarantee that every individual object will have its own layer. Small or blended background details can remain together.

The processing workflow can produce background artwork with detected elements removed or reconstructed. Hidden areas are estimated by AI, not recovered from the original source file. Results may require cleanup.

Yes, if you have the necessary rights or permission to use the image. This is useful when you like an AI-generated cover but want more control over individual parts of the design.

Not necessarily. Image-processing stages may resize input or generate reconstructed layers at different dimensions. Check the exported image and PSD dimensions before using them for print.

TIFF is not a directly supported upload format on this page at present. Convert it to a supported PNG, JPG, or WebP file before uploading. For professional-quality work, check the converted image for color and detail changes.

This workspace is designed for supported raster images rather than native PDF documents. Export the relevant cover artwork to PNG or JPG before uploading it.

You can start with supported image formats, but flat front-cover artwork is recommended. Photographs and perspective mockups contain lighting, distortion, and physical book details that can make separation less reliable. The tool does not automatically unwrap a book mockup into original print artwork.

You can use reconstructed artwork as a starting point for further publishing work. However, the tool does not automatically prepare a KDP-compliant print cover, spine, bleed, trim settings, or print-ready color configuration.

No. This workflow focuses on recovering editable visual elements from existing cover artwork. It does not automatically construct a complete paperback wrap or calculate spine dimensions.

Potentially. You can use available reconstructed elements when preparing a new edition, subject to the rights you have to the original artwork. The final cover should still be reviewed for design and publishing requirements.

Yes, where your artwork license or ownership permits it. Reconstructed layers can serve as starting assets for promotional graphics, announcements, or related visual materials.

There is no fixed number. It depends on the image and what the AI can successfully identify and reconstruct. Some elements may be grouped, missing, or require additional refinement.

Processing time depends on the input image, model workload, and the stages being used. The workspace displays job progress, and the result can be revisited through its saved project link.

Book cover conversion uses 150 Credits per image, shown in the workspace before you submit. If the artwork stage cannot be completed, the Credits for that stage are returned and you still receive the text result.

No. AI separation can produce imperfect text recognition, blended edges, missing details, or reconstructed areas that differ from the original artwork. Review the actual output before using it in a paid client project or print production.

It's a tool for working with an existing flattened cover. Unlike a template-based book cover maker, it focuses on reconstructing separate image elements from artwork you already have. It does not create an entirely new book design from scratch.

The workspace supports ZIP export for available layer assets and PSD export for a layered Photoshop-compatible file. Review the export options in the workspace and verify the downloaded contents before final delivery.
