AI generators, mostly. If I wasn't so broke and greedy, I would've comissioned some artists to make some covers for me.

Mine was made by an artist but otherwise I would have used nijijourney AI to make one, I use it to make characters/monsters images for my story.

I personally use zepeto, but I'd like to advance my book covers. What do you use and how do you make your covers?
A big author on RR (the writer of When Immortal Ascension Fails Time Travel to Try Again. You should read their AWESOME book) kindly offered to help me make one on AI while I was on their Discord. This is the full version of the absolutely wonderful gift she gave me on RR and then the cropped version on SH.

I usually generate and image with AI, use Adobe Express to edit everything and google any additional images (if needed).

I commissioned an artist. You can find good ones on Fiverr as low as $20-30. My covers have been in the $50-70 range, and I'm pretty happy with how they turned out.

For me, I used a free app called GenZArt to generate an image.

However there were some problems, so I found a free photoshop app to fix some stuff.

Then I used my phones photo editing feature to insert the title.

Luckily before I posted my new cover, I discovered that the photoshop app had better eyes, instead of drawing it in, so I quickly fixed the weird looking eyes, matching the main character's true eye color. I just regret that I can't get more fox like pupils...

...And that is how I got my cover.

But it's actually insanely robust if you know what you're doing with it. 10/10 tool. 10/10 pain too.
This is a firsthand look to the mind of a lunatic. Man's actually the embodiment of focus, commitment, and sheer fucking will.
If you think that is lunacy give Syringe's story a gander.
