Frequently asked questions

What size is a 8.27 x 11.69 KDP paperback cover?

It depends on page count. A 8.27 x 11.69 in KDP paperback with 200 pages on white paper needs a full cover of 17.240 × 11.940 in (5173 × 3582 px at 300 DPI). The height is always 11.940 in.

How much bleed does a KDP 8.27 x 11.69 cover need?

0.125 in on every outside edge. Keep text at least 0.125 in inside the trim line.

Can I put text on the spine?

KDP allows spine text from 80 pages. Leave some space between the text and each spine edge, because the fold can shift slightly in production.
