Book Cover Analyzer: Help the right readers notice your book.
A reader can scroll past a good book because its cover looks like the wrong kind of story, or its title disappears at a small size. You can face the next design decision with more confidence, instead of wondering whether your cover does justice to your book.
Included with membership at $10/month or more.

Give your next cover revision a purpose.
You need more than another opinion about whether the cover looks nice. Focus the conversation on what helps a new reader recognize your book.
Help readers recognize their kind of book
You want the readers who will love your book to recognize it. A thriller should invite a different reader than a gentle romance. A nonfiction cover should make its subject clear. You can feel more settled about the invitation your cover makes.
Keep your title from disappearing in the scroll
A cover that looks clear at full size can become hard to read as a small image. You can approach the next design discussion with more confidence in the first impression you want your book to make.
Ask for changes your designer can act on
Replace “I don’t like it” with specific concerns to discuss. Give the next conversation a focus, so you and your designer can decide what to keep and what to revise.
Bring useful feedback to your designer.

A written critique with suggestions you can use to discuss the next revision.
This tool reviews the cover image. It does not redesign the artwork or measure real reader response. Review the suggestions with your designer or publishing team.
Before you start
Can it tell me whether my cover will sell?
You want reassurance before putting your book in front of readers. No critique can promise sales. Reader feedback and actual campaign results are needed to judge how a cover performs.
Will it fix the cover for me?
You can move toward a design you feel better about, but your designer still makes the artwork. This is feedback, not an image editor. With Design Brief Drafter, you can go into that conversation with a clearer direction.
Can I use it before running ads?
You can face your ad launch with fewer unanswered worries about the cover. The critique does not analyze your campaign or predict clicks and sales.
Is it useful for my first book?
You do not have to be an experienced author to speak up about your cover. You can take part while changes are still being considered, even if design terminology feels unfamiliar.
Can I use it for a book I have already published?
A relaunch is a chance to look at a familiar cover with fresh eyes. You can approach a possible redesign with more confidence in the questions you want settled. It cannot tell you whether the cover caused weak sales.
What if my publisher chooses the cover?
You can join the conversation without feeling you have to become a designer. If your publisher welcomes author feedback, you can raise the concerns that matter to you. Your publishing team makes the design decisions.
How do I know which suggestions to use?
You stay in charge of which suggestions deserve your attention. Your intentions, your designer’s judgment, and feedback from people who read your kind of book still matter. An AI opinion is another perspective, not a final verdict.
Is my work private?
Yes. Author Media does not store, track, or view anything you post to this tool. The tools reach each AI through its business API with privacy set to the maximum, so the AI companies do not train on your words.
