Covers that changed their sales
★★★★★
I spent £400 on a cover designer for my first book and it still looked wrong for the genre. Inktastic's AI concept tool told me in plain language exactly why — wrong colour temperature, wrong font weight for romance — then fixed it. My second book outsold my first in its first week.

The spine calculator alone saved me hours. I used to manually calculate it using KDP's formula and always got it slightly wrong. Now I type in my page count and the canvas just... resizes. It's so obvious in hindsight that this should exist.

The thumbnail preview changed how I design. I used to make covers that looked beautiful at full size and disappeared at Amazon's search thumbnail. Now I design for both from the start — the thumbnail view is always open in a corner of my screen.
