The studio runs its print check before every export and blocks the file when something is off. You fix it in the studio, not in a rejection email.

Frequently asked questions
Is Veritas Canvas really free?
Yes. No signup, no watermark. You export your print-ready 300 DPI cover at no cost. The only paid extra is optional AI cover art.
Is it right for Amazon KDP?
Yes. Every trim size matches KDP exactly; spine math, bleed and the barcode zone are built to KDP's rules. It passes the Print Previewer.
Do I need to sign up or install anything?
No. It runs in your browser; you design and download without registering or installing anything. Your work stays on this device.
Can I sell the cover I make?
Yes. The gradient backgrounds and typography are generated by the studio itself — no licence, no attribution. If you upload your own image the rights stay yours; AI art comes from a paid API cleared for commercial use.
Is the AI cover art cleared for commercial use?
Yes — generated art comes with commercial rights, and export is always free and watermark-free.
What is a credit and how much does it cost?
Every AI operation is one credit. Packs are one-time — from $29 for 50 operations. The core studio needs no credits at all.
How does Region fix (masking) work?
Brush over the area on your art, or just describe the change — only that region is regenerated.
Does AI draw the title text too?
No. Titles and author names stay as vector typography, so text prints razor-sharp. AI only touches the art layer.
