Clip Studio and Canva.com.
Clip Studio is for when I'm drawing my own cover. My covers are just.... passable. I have stupidly high standards for art though. You can check out my covers on my profile page here. If you want to draw your own stuff, you can use a free program like Krita and buy a cheap drawing tablet from a company like Huion. Or you can draw on paper, scan it using your phone or a scanner, and trace over it using vector lines with your mouse (Inkscape is a free program). That's a lot of work but people have done it that way. :)
Canva.com is great for beginners because it's free and they have templates. No artistic skills required! Sure, it won't have your specific characters on it, but you'd be surprised what you can do with a little bit of inventive thinking.
For instance I turned this ugly pink thing (called "Wattpad Cover", explains a lot):
