How To Create an Ebook With Designrr 2026 (SAVE HOURS!)
Summary
This video guides users through creating ebooks using the AI tool Designer. It presents two primary methods: a fast approach using Designer's built-in AI writer (Word Genie) for quick drafts, and a higher-quality method that leverages external AI tools like ChatGPT and Claude for content generation, then importing into Designer. The tutorial covers topic selection, title generation, outline creation, content writing, template selection, editor customization, and publishing options. It also details how to create book mockups and discusses Designer's pricing, including a lifetime deal.
Key Insights
Prompt Claude iteratively to write content chapter by chapter for better quality.
Instead of generating the entire ebook at once, prompt Claude to write content in batches (e.g., introduction and first 3 chapters). This iterative approach yields better results. Continue prompting for subsequent sets of chapters until the ebook is complete.
Integrate your own knowledge and experience to create AI-assisted content.
After generating drafts with AI (like Claude), copy the content into a Google Doc and heavily edit it with your personal knowledge, expertise, anecdotes, and experiences. This transforms AI-generated content into unique, AI-assisted content.

Designer's interface offers quick start options for new ebooks or audiobooks.
Upon logging into Designer, users are presented with two primary quick start options at the top: 'create a new ebook' or 'create an audiobook'. Further down, more options include using the AI writer, importing content from documents, or converting specific content types like blog posts, YouTube videos, and podcasts into ebooks. Recent projects are also displayed.
Method 1: Fastest Ebook Creation with Word Genie
Use the 'Create New Ebook' wizard to start the process.
To begin creating an ebook using the fastest method, click on 'Create New Ebook'. This initiates a simple wizard that guides the user through the setup process.
Select the desired ebook format from a dropdown menu.
The first step in the wizard is to choose the format for the ebook. Options include Flipbook, Amazon Kindle, ePub, Live Book, and PDF. The example selects PDF.
Choose the content baseline, with an option for Word Genie.
The user selects the baseline for the ebook content. Options include importing from various sources like podcasts or YouTube, or using the integrated AI writer, Word Genie.
Specify ebook topic, niche, language, and sub-niche.
The user inputs the ebook's topic (e.g., Health and Wellness), a more specific niche (e.g., Weight Loss with the Keto Diet), language (English), and selects a sub-niche from suggestions (e.g., Keto for Athletes and Fitness Enthusiasts). The system can regenerate these options.
Define the target audience for the ebook.
The target audience for the ebook is specified, for example, 'Athletes and busy professionals'.
Generate and select a title for the ebook.
Designer suggests 10 potential titles based on the topic and audience. Users can regenerate the list if they don't like the initial suggestions. The example chooses 'Keto Fuel: Maximize Performance for Athletes and Busy Professionals'.
Choose the desired tone of voice for the ebook.
Select the tone of voice for the ebook content. Options include 'Inspirational', among others. This influences the writing style.
Review and edit the AI-generated ebook outline.
Designer creates an ebook outline, typically with multiple chapters. Users can edit this outline, delete chapters, change headings, or use the 'Word Genie Hints' to prompt the AI for specific content for chapters. For speed, the example reduces the chapter count.
Enable AI image generation for the ebook.
A toggle option allows Designer to automatically create images for the ebook at relevant points during content generation.
Designer writes the ebook section by section, including images.
Designer begins writing the ebook content, incorporating images at appropriate places. The user can actively edit the text, make spacing adjustments, delete or add sentences/paragraphs while the AI is still generating content, saving time.
Select and place AI-generated images within the ebook.
During content generation, Designer provides multiple image options. The user can preview and select the most suitable image for each section. Later, these images can be adjusted within the editor.
Ebook content can be further edited in the Designer editor.
After the initial draft is generated, users can pause the process to make edits. They can adjust image alignment with text and prepare for template selection.
Choose a template from Designer's extensive library.
Designer offers hundreds of templates. Users can browse, search by type (e.g., columns) or theme, and preview both the cover and internal pages. Templates can be customized later, including changing the front cover while keeping internal pages.
Customize ebook design and content in the editor.
The selected template is loaded into the editor, allowing for extensive customization. This includes changing fonts, layouts, colors, and text. Users can modify the title, subtitle, and overall aesthetic.
Easily change the ebook's front cover.
The front cover can be completely changed by uploading a custom image, selecting from Designer's library, or using Word Genie to generate AI images for the cover.
Add a table of contents for better navigation.
A table of contents can be easily added by duplicating a page, clearing its content, and inserting an interactive table of contents element. This allows readers to click and jump to specific sections.
Enhance ebooks with additional elements like videos and call-to-actions.
The 'Elements' section allows adding images, videos (by embedding YouTube links), audio, QR codes, call-to-action buttons, or more content generated by Word Genie.
Word Genie can generate additional content within the editor.
Users can prompt Word Genie directly within the editor to write more content for specific sections, such as 'five tips for athletes on my keto diet'. The generated text can be inserted or regenerated.
Images can be resized and positioned with text wrapping.
Images added to the ebook can be resized and positioned next to content by enabling text wrapping, allowing for flexible layout adjustments.
Publish the ebook in various formats including PDF and flipbook.
After finalizing the ebook, users can publish it as a PDF, direct to Amazon Kindle, an interactive flipbook, or a live book. An option to create an audiobook is also available depending on the plan.
Create 3D mockups of the ebook cover for marketing.
Designer includes a 'Cover and Mockup Creator' tool that generates 3D mockups of the ebook cover, ideal for use on landing pages or sales pages. Different styles of mockups are available for download.
Method 2: Higher Quality Ebook with External AI Tools
Leverage ChatGPT for topic brainstorming, angles, and structure.
For higher quality content, start by using ChatGPT to brainstorm ideas, refine angles, and develop a solid structure for your ebook. It's particularly useful for gaining clarity.
Use specialized prompts to guide ChatGPT in topic and title generation.
Employ specific prompts for ChatGPT, instructing it to act as a content strategist to generate ebook topic ideas that solve a clear problem, are practical, and outcome-focused. Then, use another prompt for it to act as a direct response copywriter to create emotionally compelling titles in different styles (emotion/outcome, problem/agitate/solution, authority/reassurance).
Generate a clear, logical ebook outline using ChatGPT.
Ask ChatGPT to act as an ebook editor to create a detailed outline, including an introduction, 8-10 core chapters with specific content points, and a conclusion. Ensure the outline avoids fluff and repetition.
Utilize Claude for writing the first draft of ebook content.
Claude is recommended as the second free AI tool for writing higher-quality, human-sounding content. It's better suited for drafting the actual text based on the outline.
Prompt Claude iteratively to write content chapter by chapter for better quality.
Instead of generating the entire ebook at once, prompt Claude to write content in batches (e.g., introduction and first 3 chapters). This iterative approach yields better results. Continue prompting for subsequent sets of chapters until the ebook is complete.
Integrate your own knowledge and experience to create AI-assisted content.
After generating drafts with AI (like Claude), copy the content into a Google Doc and heavily edit it with your personal knowledge, expertise, anecdotes, and experiences. This transforms AI-generated content into unique, AI-assisted content.
Make Google Docs shareable for importing into Designer.
To import content from Google Docs into Designer, the document must be made shareable. Change the general access settings from 'Restricted' to 'Anyone with the link' to allow Designer to read the content.
Import Google Doc content into Designer via the 'New Ebook' wizard.
In Designer, select 'New Ebook', choose PDF format, and then select 'Google Doc' as the content baseline. Paste the shareable Google Doc link and click 'add'. Designer will then import the content into the editor.
Choose a template and finalize the ebook using Designer's editor.
Once content is imported, select a template and use Designer's editor to format the ebook, add elements, and make any final adjustments, similar to the first method. Publishing and other features remain the same.
