Why a cover tool hands off to Canva
Canva is where most indie authors already make launch graphics. Instead of trapping the approved cover in an export folder, the handoff places it in that workflow directly, with the editable version letting you swap taglines, test ad text, or apply a brand typeface Coverfairy's library does not carry.
Editable versus exact, honestly
The editable handoff is best-effort: Canva's text and image model differs from Coverfairy's cover engine, so complex effects may simplify and fonts map to Canva's closest equivalents. The exact version exists for the moments that matter, it is the flattened, approved cover, faithful to the pixel.
The print boundary
Canva is excellent for marketing surfaces, but the production files, the calculated wrap, spine, bleed, and preflighted PDF, always come from Coverfairy. A Canva canvas cannot carry the print engine's geometry, so the handoff is deliberately a marketing bridge, not a production exit.
Honest boundary. Coverfairy is independent and not affiliated with Canva. The editable handoff is best-effort by nature; when fidelity is critical, use the exact version, and always produce print files from Coverfairy rather than rebuilding the wrap in Canva.
