Let’s dig into a bit of maths! Digital Paper has always required vertical-rectangle-shaped images. Most good-looking covers have heights that are around 1.3 to 1.65 times greater than the width.
Don’t obsess too much over the ratio, though. Focus on creating a cover that works best for your book.
Let’s take an example of this cover page of Digital Paper: Style Guide. This cover page is 1,600 pixels wide by 2,400 pixels tall.

How to create your cover page?
You’ll find some tips on the Digital Paper Help Docs, though unless you’re a professional graphic artist, my best recommendation is to hire a professional.
Else you can use Digital Paper — Author Services, low-cost cover designers, and ebook formatters. Their rates range from about 4000₹ to 6000₹, a range I consider very reasonable.
Here’s the thing; a professional design doesn’t need to be expensive. You can get a unique, book cover designed with customized plan that suits your budget.
You won’t get away with 200₹ for a cover, of course, you’re going to want to buy some extras, but even so. You’re going to get away with a pretty cheap cover, which you can make up for in just a few sales. Trust me, it’s worth the investment.
Looking for a free personalized cover image: Keep it simple and classy: think “minimalist.” Use large fonts that can be easily read at thumbnail size, and stick with just one key image.
