Pro Tip: Adding a Photo To Your Cookbook Cover

You can create a custom cover by adding your own photo. Use the Photo Manager (found in the Layout and Design section) to upload your photo. Assign the location to front cover.

Next, go to the Layout and Design Center and select “Cookbook Covers”. This will take you to a page that will allow you to select one of our professionally designed cookbook covers by clicking on the + sign to see the covers in each category.  The last option is for a custom cover. To select the custom cover click on the choose button.  Then click “Save” to set that as your cover.
You can also get really creative and use the Custom Cover Arranger Tool.  Go to Layout & Design>Select Cover and click the button to open that too.
