FAQ
The standard Wattpad cover size is 512 x 800 pixels. If you stick to these dimensions, you won’t have display issues when readers select your book in Wattpad. For images, use JPEG and PNG files to keep formatting smooth for your cover.
Your Wattpad cover should include:
- a book title towards the top of the cover
- your Wattpad user name near the bottom
- a color scheme and typography
- a background, image or illustration
- a book description on the back
Keep the design minimal but engaging.
To make a beautiful Wattpad cover:
- balance text and images with plenty of white space
- use attention-grabbing images or illustrations
- combine different textures for contrast
- settle on a typography that fits your genre
- avoid black font over colored backgrounds.
