KDP Cover Requirements — Simplified

Trim Sizes

Amazon KDP supports trim sizes from 5×8 to 8.5×11 inches. The most popular is 6×9, which BookCoverForge uses as its default. Select the exact format that matches your manuscript.

Spine Width

Spine width depends on page count and paper type. For a 200-page book on white paper, expect roughly 0.45 inches. BookCoverForge generates front covers sized to KDP spec — upload directly to KDP Cover Creator for the full wrap.

Resolution & Bleed

KDP requires 300 DPI minimum with 0.125-inch bleed on all sides. Our AI generates high-resolution imagery that meets these print standards out of the box.

File Format

KDP accepts PDF and JPEG/TIFF for covers. BookCoverForge exports high-quality PNG which you can convert or upload directly for eBook covers.
