The Book Cover Analyzer critiques your book cover’s design and genre signal to reveal why it’s not converting and how to fix it fast.

Turn Your Cover Into a Click Magnet

Diagnose why your book cover isn’t getting clicks and learn exactly how to fix it.

Most indie authors have no idea why their ads aren’t converting. Often, the problem isn’t the ad—it’s the cover. A good book cover can double or triple click-through rates, while a weak one quietly kills your marketing. The Book Cover Analyzer gives you an expert-level critique that identifies what’s holding your cover back and tells you how to redesign it for maximum impact.

When you upload your cover image, the tool generates:

• A detailed visual breakdown of color, composition, and mood
• A genre-fit and audience-psychology analysis
• A performance score. 
• A prioritized redesign plan to improve click-through rates

You will walk away with a clear, professional roadmap to turn your underperforming cover into a scroll-stopping, ad-ready design.

This tool blends professional advertising analysis with design psychology. It uses proven Amazon ad principles—contrast, simplicity, familiarity, and genre signaling—to evaluate your cover like a marketing consultant would. By stripping away praise and focusing on hard data, it helps authors make objective, profitable design decisions.
