Full wrap preview
Red dashed: trim edge (outside is trimmed). Blue: spine. Green dashed: safe text area. The barcode zone stays empty — KDP prints the barcode there. Guides never appear in the exported file.
Upload your front cover to enable export.
The PDF is sized to 12.700" × 9.250" at 300 DPI, ready for KDP's print cover upload. Always run it through KDP's previewer before you publish.

Frequently Asked Questions
- You upload your finished front cover, set your trim size, page count, and paper type, and it assembles the full print wrap: front cover, spine with your title and author name, and a back cover with your blurb. You download a print-ready 300 DPI PDF sized exactly to KDP's specification. No account and no watermark.
- A JPG or PNG of your front cover, ideally at print resolution: at least your trim width in inches times 300 pixels (a 6" x 9" book needs roughly 1800 x 2700 px). The tool shows the effective DPI of your upload and warns you when it is below 300.
- A print file is larger than your trim size: KDP adds 0.125" of bleed on the outer edges (hardcover uses a 0.591" wrap). Your front cover was made at trim size, so the extra margin has no artwork. This tool fills that margin with a colour sampled from your cover, or crops slightly with scale-to-fill. The Pro External Cover Studio extends the artwork itself edge-to-edge with AI instead.
- Yes — title and author name, with your choice of font, size, and colour. KDP requires at least 79 pages before spine text is allowed; below that the tool keeps the spine as a solid colour, matching KDP's rules.
- KDP prints its own ISBN barcode in a 2" x 1.2" zone on the lower-right of the back cover. The preview marks that zone, and the tool keeps your back-cover text above it, so nothing you write gets covered.
- Yes. The PDF page is sized to the exact full-cover dimensions for your trim, page count, paper, and binding, rendered at 300 DPI with bleed included. Upload it as your print cover in KDP's paperback or hardcover setup. Always check KDP's previewer before publishing — it is the final authority on your file.
- The calculator tells you the dimensions and gives you a blank template. This tool goes one step further: it builds the actual print file from your front cover, spine text, and back-cover blurb.
