Summary
Ideogram generates images and offers editing apps such as Layerize Text, which turns lettering in an image into editable text layers so you can change wording and fonts. It outputs images, not KDP-ready cover wraps, so you still need a layout step for spine, bleed and safe zones. Ideogram says it does not claim ownership of generated images and allows commercial use.
