Summary

Firefly can generate cover art, backgrounds and interior illustrations, and offers partner models from other AI companies alongside Adobe's own. It produces images, not a KDP-ready cover: you still need layout software for the title, spine, bleed and the single PDF KDP requires for print. KDP's content guidelines require you to disclose AI-generated text, images or translations, including cover and interior images, when you publish or republish.
