According to Shannon Messenger, it is to symbolise her entire journey. Sophie appears to be younger-looking on this cover than those of Flashback and Legacy. Shannon Messenger said they wanted to let Sophie shine on the cover alone because Unlocked, as a continuation of the main series and a series guide/supplement, represents her journey so far. This is the first time that Sophie has been the sole Elvin character on the cover.

The cover of Unlocked was designed by Karin Paprocki and illustrated by Jason Chan. The cover shows Sophie and Silveny teleporting through the void, with four places surrounding them (clockwise, starting with the top left): Havenfield, Eternalia, Foxfire, and Gildingham.
