Why KDP rejects covers

Most rejected covers have one of four problems: the size is wrong (a paperback cover must include the back, the spine and the front plus 0.125″ bleed on every outside edge), the spine width does not match the page count and paper, the picture is below 300 DPI, or text sits too close to the edge and could be cut off. This tool fixes all four.

eBook cover sizes by store

Stores update their rules from time to time – check the store’s help page if a cover is rejected. If your picture is a different shape, choose to fill (crop a little), fit it with a blurred or plain background, or stretch it. Amazon suggests a thin grey border for white or very light covers so they do not disappear on a white page – the tool switches it on for you when your cover is light.

Paperback cover size: how it is worked out

Full cover width = bleed + back cover + spine + front cover + bleed. Height = bleed + trim height + bleed. KDP uses 0.125″ (3.2 mm) bleed. The spine width depends on the number of pages and the paper:

Black & white on white paper: 0.002252″ per page
Black & white on cream paper: 0.0025″ per page
Standard colour: 0.002252″ per page
Premium colour: 0.002347″ per page

For example, a 6 × 9 inch book with 300 pages on white paper has a spine of 0.676″ and a full cover of 12.926 × 9.25 inches – 3878 × 2775 pixels at 300 DPI. KDP allows text on the spine only when the book has more than 79 pages; the tool tells you when that applies.

Front cover only, or a full cover you already have

Have only the front? The tool builds the back and spine in a colour taken from your front cover, adds your blurb and the title and author on the spine, and keeps the barcode area (2 × 1.2 in, bottom right of the back) free. The bleed is filled by mirroring the edges of your picture, so nothing important is cut off. Already have a full wrap from a designer? Choose “A full cover” – it is resized to the exact size, and you are warned if its shape suggests a different page count.

Any picture at 300 DPI

Need interior pictures for a picture book, a print at 8 × 10 inches or an A4 poster? The third tab makes any number of pictures the exact print size at 300 DPI (or 150 or 600), with an option for KDP interior bleed (+0.125″ width, +0.25″ height). Save them as JPG, PNG or one PDF.

Hardcover and other printers

Hardcover covers wrap around the boards and use different measurements. Choose “Other size / other printer” and “Type the spine width myself”, then enter the sizes from the printer’s own cover calculator – for KDP hardcovers, from the KDP cover template.

For a paperback PDF it checks the exact size against your page count and paper and tells you if the spine or bleed is wrong. One click fixes it.

Frequently asked questions

Is the 3D book background transparent?

Yes. The 3D paperback is a PNG with a transparent background, so it can be placed on any colour or photo.

Can I change the text on the posts?

Yes. Type your own headline and second line – for example “Out now” and “Available on Amazon and Kobo”. Urdu and Arabic text work too.

Is my cover uploaded anywhere?

No. Your pictures are resized and the PDF is made on your own phone or computer. Nothing is sent to a server, so unpublished covers stay private.

Can a small picture really become 300 DPI?

The file will be 300 DPI and the exact size, but enlarging cannot add detail that is not in the original. The tool tells you how much your picture is enlarged: up to about 1.5× usually prints well; more than that may look soft. For the sharpest result, start from the largest version of your design.
