KDP Print-Ready Cover PDF
Budget: $10 – $30 USD
I already have a finished front, spine, and back cover design; all I need now is a properly formatted full-wrap file that can go straight into Amazon’s Kindle Direct Publishing dashboard without triggering any warnings. The artwork, typography, and colors must stay exactly as they are—I’m only looking for the technical prep work.
Here are the fixed specs you’ll work with:
• Trim: 6 × 9 inches on cream paper
• Page count: 196 (use the correct spine width for this stock)
• Final canvas, bleed included: 12.69 × 9.25 inches
• Resolution: 300 DPI, CMYK output
Your task is to position the existing design precisely, add the required bleed on every edge, confirm the barcode area remains clear, and export the final file as a high-quality, KDP-compatible PDF.
Deliverable
• One print-ready, full-wrap PDF ready for immediate upload to KDP.
That’s the whole scope—no creative changes needed, just flawless production work.
