The studio operates under the Mibl Group umbrella alongside GetCovers, its budget custom-design sibling. Four things distinguish it from similarly priced competitors: unlimited revisions that continue for a month after delivery, no prepayment at all on photo-manipulated covers, a written no-AI policy, and full transfer of the artwork to the author. Prices rose sharply in 2026 — the entry ebook cover went from $149 to $220 — so Miblart now sits mid-band rather than at the bottom of the custom-studio range. ## Pricing **Photo-manipulated covers** (list prices; the promo-materials tiers carry a standing bundle saving): - **Ebook cover only:** $220 - **Ebook + print wrap:** $270 - **Ebook + promo materials:** $272 (list $320) - **Ebook + print + promo materials:** $315 (list $370) - **Second concept:** +$150 on any package **Other cover lines:** - **Premium** (3D modelling and heavy photo manipulation, 2 concepts, 3 promo images, creative-director analysis): $700 - **Audiobook cover** (ACX-ready): $200 - **Illustrated covers**, six variants, all full-wrap with up to two characters: children's from $200, vector from $300, cartoonish from $300, standard illustrated from $390. A single custom illustrated character is $200; a fantasy map is from $300. Final price is quoted per project on style complexity — no per-character surcharge is published. **Add-ons** ($30–$50, bought separately or at checkout): box set $40, dust jacket $40, typography design for an existing cover $40, back and spine design for an existing cover $50, audio cover formatting $30, paperback or hardback formatting for an extra platform $30. A marketing-materials bundle is $100 with a cover instead of $140 alone. **Discounts:** 10% off each cover from book 2 of a series; 15% off the cover when ordered with interior formatting (excludes illustrations). Formatting itself runs $64–$300 ebook, $120–$434 print, $150–$460 for both. **Payment model:** Photo-manipulated and audiobook covers require no deposit — you pay only after approving the final design, and payment can be split into two instalments at no cost. Illustrated and premium covers take a deposit, but the rate varies by product rather than being a flat half: 50% on the standard illustrated cover ($195), vector ($150), fantasy map ($150) and premium ($350), but 37.5% on children's ($75), 35% on a custom character ($70) and 25% on cartoonish ($75). Rotating coupon codes, usually 20%, run most of the year and are worth checking before you order; ALLi members have had partner-exclusive codes in past sales. ## What You Get - **Unlimited revisions, then a free month.** No cap and no surcharge during the project, and the terms grant a further month of unlimited revisions after the order closes — on every cover order, not just Premium. Most studios cap authors at 2–3 rounds. - **File formats:** JPG, PNG and print-ready PDF, plus a 3D book image, title page and a bonus marketing image at no charge. The photo-manipulated cover packages now advertise a **layered** source file; the audiobook and premium services still specify a flattened PSD. - **Turnaround:** first concept within 7 business days for photo-manipulated covers, 5 business days for the two Premium concepts, 5–7 for audiobook. Illustrated projects deliver a first draft in 21 days; a standalone character sketch takes 7 business days and a fantasy map 10. ## Who It's For - **Genre fiction authors:** strong specialization in romance, fantasy, thriller, mystery, sci-fi and horror — genres where matching market conventions directly affects sales. - **Authors avoiding AI imagery:** the no-AI commitment is written into the terms, not just implied by a marketing badge. - **Authors with specific revision needs:** the unlimited model removes the risk of running out of feedback rounds, and the free post-delivery month covers the fixes you only spot after upload. ## Strengths - **Trustpilot 4.8/5** from 377 reviews — one of the highest-volume ratings in the category, and platform-sourced rather than self-reported. - **ALLi partner member** — listed under Design Services in the Alliance of Independent Authors' own partner roundups. - **Zero-risk payment** on photo-manipulated and audiobook covers: no deposit, pay only after you approve. - **Written no-AI policy.** The terms state that Miblart "does NOT use AI for book cover design" and that its designers use only licensed images; the homepage carries a "Human-made designs" badge. - **You own the artwork.** The terms transfer full ownership of the design to the client for illustrated, photo-manipulated and original-asset work — unusual in a category where studios commonly keep the copyright and grant only a licence. - Dante Rossetti Award winner for cover redesign (Glen Dahlgren's *Chronicles of Chaos* series). ## Limitations - **Mandatory design credit.** Unless you buy a white-label agreement, the terms require "Cover designed by MiblArt" to appear on your back cover or copyright page. Ask for a white-label quote upfront if that matters to your imprint. - **Prices climbed roughly 40% in 2026.** At $220–$270 Miblart no longer undercuts Western studios by the margin it once did; compare against the current field rather than a remembered price. - **The money-back guarantee is narrower than the marketing.** Miblart's own blog advertises a "100% money-back guarantee", but the terms only refund a deposit if you reject the illustrated sketch, or on cancellation before work starts. Once illustration begins the deposit is gone, and no post-approval refund is defined for a standard cover. - **Illustrated timelines:** a 21-day first draft plus revision rounds puts full illustrated covers outside an imminent launch window. - **Stock licence caps at 500,000 print copies** — the category default, but an extended licence is your cost if a book breaks out. - **The site contradicts itself on details.** The FAQ still quotes a $100 second concept (cards say $150), a 7–10 business day first draft (cards say 7) and a flattened source file (cover cards say layered). Confirm the specifics in writing on your order. - **Ukraine-based:** the studio has continued operating through wartime; occasional communication slowdowns during high-stress periods are documented by some reviewers. ## Alternatives GetCovers ($10–$35, also Mibl Group) is the budget sibling — same parent company, custom design from a brief too, but staffed with junior designers and licensing rather than transferring the artwork. Ebook Launch is the closest Western-studio competitor and now sits well above Miblart on custom work ($497+) while offering a $99 premade line Miblart has no answer to. Creativindie's 2026 rebuild ($349/$549/$849) lands just above Miblart's ebook+print tier. For higher-investment genre work, Damonza ($645+) offers similar expertise with a series subscription model.
