There are a couple options. You can use our AI spine art feature to generate a custom spine based on the book's title and genre. Or as a pro tip you can tap on the Search Online button which will open a Google search for spine images for this book. You can then take a screenshot of a spine, then switch back to the app and upload the picture. The app will autocrop the picture.
