Book Cover Maker is an online tool for South African parents and learners that creates matching, printable A4 school book covers. You type your child's name, grade and subjects, pick a theme, and download one PDF with all the covers ready to print at home.
Making and previewing covers is free. Downloading the print-ready PDF costs R50 for your first set (one learner) for 4 months, plus R25 for the 2nd and 3rd set in the same pack. A 4th set starts a new pack at R50 with its own 4-month expiry. You pay once; it is not a subscription. Once unlocked you can switch between your sets, each with its own name, subjects and theme.
25 South African school subjects are built in, including English, Afrikaans, isiZulu, Mathematics, Mathematical Literacy, Natural Sciences, Physical Sciences, Life Sciences, EMS, Accounting, Business Studies, Geography, History, Life Orientation, Technology, CAT, IT, EGD, Creative Arts, Dramatic Arts, Visual Arts and Music. You can also type any other subject.
Yes. Covers are A4 with white backgrounds and inkjet-friendly colours, designed to print well on a normal home printer such as an Epson or HP. Print at actual size on A4 paper.
Yes. It works in Safari on iPhone and Chrome on Android, as well as on computers. On iPhone the PDF is saved with Save to Files.
Up to 20 covers at a time, with copies for subjects that have more than one book, plus an optional extra line under the name such as a class or teacher. Grades up to 4 characters are supported, for example 8, 12 or 8B.
Twelve themes: Street Label, Level Up, Hype Drop, Sticker Bomb, Retro Wave, Trading Card, Boarding Pass, Now Playing, Pastel Dream, Blossom, Turbo and Pitch Pro. Each subject gets its own colour and icon so books are easy to tell apart.
A set is one learner's covers: their name, subjects and theme. Sets come in packs of up to 3. In each pack the first set is R50 and the 2nd and 3rd are R25 each (R100 for a full pack). Every pack lasts exactly 4 months from the day you pay for it. Sets you add to a pack later (R25 each) expire on that pack's date, not later. A 4th set on the same account starts a new pack at R50 with its own 4-month expiry, then R25 for its 2nd and 3rd set, and so on. When a pack expires, its sets stop downloading until you buy a new pack. Your account page shows every pack and its exact expiry date.
Your pass lasts 4 months from the date of purchase. During that time you can download and reprint covers as often as you like, change subjects and themes, and switch between the sets on your pass. After 4 months you can renew to keep downloading. PDFs you have already saved stay yours to keep and print.
