Placeit offers a variety of cover template options with customizable tools that let it stand on its own. This book cover design software's best feature is that you can select your template based on the genre of your book, which is an excellent way to make your cover a more viable marketing tool!

Blurb BookWright is free to download and has valuable learning resources built-in. It's a bit of a cross between a template-based design program and a Photoshop-type program, and easier to use than you might expect.

I've used Canva for covers for a few short stories I've posted on Wattpad, but my book got a professionally designed cover. I approached an artist I found on DeviantArt and inquired about a cover. It wasn't something he normally did, and didn't have a set price so he asked what I could afford. I made an offer, he accepted. It was a win-win. He said he really enjoyed the project, and I got a beautiful, unique cover.

Yup, you can't beat a professionally designed cover! If you're looking to take the next step, check out the designers on Reedsy: they've got years of experience in the actual publishing field and are locked-in on what will sell a book.Okay, plug over ;-)

For the more drawing inclined, there's Inkscape -- think cell-shading, cartoon, graphic covers. Granted, it's a bit more complex than Canva but it's free and very flexible. Scaled vector graphics let you resize objects (not photos) without losing quality. For the kind of covers I like, that's awesome.
