KDP Book Cover Adjustment - 06/07/2026 08:08 EDT
Budget: ₹600 – ₹1,500 INR
I need a designed book cover adjusted to meet Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP) standards for a hardcover book. The book size specifications are 5.5 x 8.5 inches.
Pls look at the attached artwork for my hardcover to be uploaded on KDP.
Keep exactly:
13.081" × 9.917"
300 DPI
Hardcover template
Bleed unchanged
No change in artwork or content. Only ask is it needs to conform to KDP upload standards as per above dimensions. I would ask you to make only these precise production adjustments to satisfy KDP.
Front cover (right side)
Move the entire front cover panel (everything to the right of the spine) 5 mm (0.20") to the left.
This includes:
Title
Subtitle
Conductor illustration
Gold wave graphic
Bottom tagline
Author name
Do not resize any element.
Do not change spacing between elements.
Shift the gold wave graphic another 2–3 mm left so its rightmost dots sit comfortably inside the safe zone.
Back cover (left side)
Move the left quote block (starting "Organizations do not execute strategy...") 2 mm to the right so the opening quotation mark is safely inside the trim.
Move the centre quote block ("AI will not save broken systems...") 2 mm to the right to maintain equal spacing.
Move the right quote block ("The future will not belong...") 2 mm to the right to preserve visual alignment.
Keep the paragraph beginning "The Future belongs to Leaders..." exactly where it is.
Leave the barcode area completely blank.
Spine
No changes.
The spine alignment looks good.
Export only the artwork.
Do not flatten the artwork until the export step.
