Can I choose matte or glossy?

Yes. A matte finish gives the cover a softer, low-glare surface with a more understated feel. A glossy finish adds a reflective sheen that can make color and contrast appear brighter. The artwork stays the same, so you can compare how each finish changes the presentation of your chosen cover.

Finish availability depends on the selected size and binding. Book Builder checks the actual print product and only presents combinations supported by the printer. The on-page preview helps explain the visual difference, while the final selection is confirmed with the rest of your book specifications before checkout.
