Why do KDP covers keep getting rejected? We built real-time checks and one-click typesetting.
We’re building BookCoversLab to make KDP cover compliance a no‑brainer for self‑published authors and designers. Common pain points—exact dimensions, spine width, bleed, DPI, and CMYK—cause rejections and slow releases.
Highlights:
Real-time preflight with live trim/spine/bleed updates
Auto spine math from page count × paper type
One‑click “bestseller” typography presets
AI-generated cover backgrounds (or upload your own art)
Print‑ready export: 300 DPI, CMYK, full‑wrap PDF with bleed
We’d love your input:
Edge cases you’ve hit with KDP (hardcover hinge/turn‑ins, barcode zones, ultra‑high page counts)
Genres or category presets you want us to add
Launch plan:
We’re scheduled for Tuesday at 12:01am PT and will be in the comments answering technical questions and sharing updates throughout the day.
