# A book ad generator that keeps your cover and your readers' words

Source: https://storetoads.com/industries/book-ad-generator/

Searching for a book ad template usually ends with an evening of fitting your cover into someone else's layout. StoreToAds starts from the page where the book is sold instead. It places your real cover, takes the hook from your jacket copy, prints the price of the format you sell and quotes readers exactly as they wrote, then hands you finished ads.

## Template or generator: what each one leaves to you

A template is a layout with empty boxes. You still cut out the cover, write every line, check every number and resize the result for each placement. That works for one launch graphic. It gets slow when you want several ads that each give a stranger a different reason to start reading.

- **The cover stays your file.** It is placed on the ad, never redrawn, so the title and the author's name read exactly as printed. Covers are mostly lettering, which is what image models most often get wrong (see our [prompt tests](https://storetoads.com/ad-prompts/)).
- **Each ad leads with something different**: a question from the story, a reader's reaction, the rating of a debut, the book club angle.
- **The words come from your page.** If your jacket copy never mentions a twist, no ad promises one.
- **Five sizes come with each paid design**: 4:5 for feeds, 1:1, 9:16 for Stories and Reels, 2:3 for Pinterest (close to a book's own shape) and 1.91:1 for Google Display.

## Where your book is sold changes what we can read

Your own store gives the engine the most: every format and its price, the description, the reviews your review app shows and any shipping offer. Shopify, WooCommerce, Wix, Squarespace and most other store builders work.

A single **amazon.com** product page, the link with /dp/ in it, can be read too: title, price, photos, rating and review count. Author pages, search results and other Amazon countries can't, so for those, upload the cover and type the details in. The ads then use what you typed and nothing else.

## How StoreToAds makes it

1. **Paste your book's page.** Your store's product page or the book's amazon.com page. No page yet, or a pre-order? Upload the cover and type the price and blurb.
2. **Pick the format to sell.** Paperback, hardcover, ebook or a bundle: the ads print that format's price, and no price your page doesn't list.
3. **Review, then download.** Every line is fact checked before you see it. Change any word in the editor, then download each size, or send the ads you pick to Meta as paused drafts on plans that include it.

## Questions

**Is there a free book ad generator?**

StoreToAds makes 3 free ads from your book's page with no signup or card, in the 4:5 feed size, usually in 3 to 5 minutes. Signing in adds more free ads during the beta. Paid plans add all five sizes and new designs every month.

**How much does it cost to advertise your book?**

There are two costs: making the ads and showing them. The first ads here are free, then plans are monthly, listed on the pricing page. Ad spend is separate and set by you in Meta, TikTok or Amazon Ads. Start small, compare a few ads with different hooks, and keep the ones readers click.

**Can I use these ads to sell my book on Amazon?**

Yes. We can read your book's amazon.com page and make image ads that send readers there from Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest or TikTok. Ads that run inside Amazon itself are set up in Amazon Ads from your listing.

**Will the ad change my cover?**

No. The cover is your own image placed on the ad, so the title, the author's name and the art stay exactly as printed. The engine may set the book on a new background or beside a review, but it never redraws the cover.

**Can the ad call my book a bestseller?**

Only if your store page says so in its own words. The fact check treats bestseller, number one and award lines as claims that need a source, and a reader's review doesn't count as one.

**What size should a book ad be for Instagram and TikTok?**

Use 4:5 for the Instagram and Facebook feed and 9:16 for Stories, Reels and TikTok. Each paid design comes in both. In the 9:16, check that the price and button sit above the bottom of the screen, where the apps put their own buttons.

**Can I make ads for a book that isn't out yet?**

Yes. Point us at the pre-order page, or upload the cover and type the details. The ads use the date and price you give, and they won't show a rating or reviews the book doesn't have yet.
