CoverKDP

The cover is one PDF (back, spine, front)

Do not upload “front only”. The spine lives in the same file.

KDP and Ingram want one continuous image. Amazon’s official calculator builds the template when you give pages and paper.

Path D uses your interior parameters. If the spine is thin, sometimes only the title fits; the factory already accounts for that.

If you still have any questions or suggestions, please send me a message. I am the creator of this tool. Initially, I built it for myself: I am a writer and an artist, and I needed something simple, fast, and affordable before I started generating income from my books or art. My mother ran a publishing house and I knew the fundamentals of this craft and what it means to assemble the layout of a book for print. This “formatting atelier” is meant to be simple: I made it for writers, artists, and anyone who needs to get their creation into print but has never done book formatting themselves before. So, if you run into any difficulties, please let me know: your feedback will help me improve the service. You are very welcome here! Send a message.
