The fiddly print specs, handled.

Spine width, bleed, safe zones and barcode space are easy to get wrong and slow to fix. KDPEasy builds every file on KDP’s published measurements and checks it before you download.

Trim
6.000 × 9.000 in
The edge where your book is cut.
Bleed
0.125 in
0.125 in of bleed on every outer edge, so no white edge shows when the book is cut.
Spine
240 × 0.0025 in
0.0025 in a page on cream paper and 0.002252 in on white, worked out again whenever your page count changes.
Barcode space
2.000 × 1.200 in
A 2 × 1.2 in space on the back cover, bottom right, where KDP prints your ISBN barcode.
Keep text inside
0.25 in
Words stay 0.25 in inside every edge, so nothing important gets trimmed.

Spine text only when it fits
Books with 80 pages or more get a spine title. Thinner books keep the spine clear.
Gutters that grow with the book
Inside margins widen as the page count rises, following KDP’s gutter table.
Embedded fonts, 300 DPI
Print PDFs carry their fonts and full-resolution artwork, ready to upload to KDP.

KDP makes the final decision.

Design interiors and covers, write your listing and export print-ready files, with the spine, bleed and barcode space worked out for you. Book Studio keeps your interior, cover, listing and publishing checklist in one project, so nothing gets lost between tools, tabs and spreadsheets. One studio, from first idea to KDP draft.

Step 1 · Design · Interior pages
Lay out every page
Start from 205 editable page layouts for planners, journals, logbooks and activity books. Everything you add stays editable, and pages reorder with a drag.
- Planners, trackers, budgets and gratitude pages
- Front matter, dividers and activity pages too
- Margins and gutters set from your page count
Explore journals and planners
Step 2 · Cover · AI art and full wrap
Make a cover that fits
Describe your book and get a full-wrap cover with the front, spine and back together. Change the page count and the spine follows.
- AI cover art in the style your genre expects
- 13 cover templates to restyle, or upload your own art
- Bleed and a clear barcode space built in
Explore AI book covers
Step 3 · Listing · Title, keywords and price
Write your listing
AI drafts your description and keywords from the book itself. Fill all seven keyword slots and three categories, then set a price and see your royalty estimate.
- Descriptions formatted the way Amazon shows them
- Seven keywords and three categories, tracked
- Printing cost and royalty estimate as you type
Explore keyword research
Step 4 · Publish · Checks and KDP draft
Send it to KDP as a draft
Run a final book check and download print-ready PDFs. With a membership, the Chrome extension can save everything as a draft in your KDP account. You review it and press publish.
- Checks for trim, bleed, fonts and resolution
- Interior and cover PDFs that match your latest design
- Nothing publishes without your final review
Explore the KDP quality checker

Is KDPEasy free to use?

You can start free. New accounts get 10 free credits once they confirm their email, enough for 2 cover previews with a mark, and no credit card is needed. To download a cover without the mark, its print files cost 5 paid credits, from $7.50, as one payment. Credit packs start at $7.50, and memberships give you the best rate per cover.

What is Book Studio?

Book Studio is KDPEasy's workspace for a whole book. You design the interior from 205 editable page layouts, make the cover, write the listing and prepare everything for KDP in one project, with four modes: Design, Cover, Listing and Publish.

Does KDPEasy work for Amazon KDP?

Yes. Every cover is sized to Amazon KDP's published specs: the right trim size, a spine width worked out from your page count, 0.125 in of bleed and 300 DPI. Covers come as a full-wrap PDF to upload to KDP. Our checks follow KDP's specs, but KDP makes the final decision on every book.

Does KDPEasy publish my book for me?

No. KDPEasy prepares your files and listing. With a membership, the Chrome extension can save the book as a draft in your KDP account, but you always review it and press publish yourself in KDP.

Can I make coloring books with KDPEasy?

Yes. The coloring book creator turns a theme into AI line-art pages in six styles, up to 100 drawings a book, and exports a print-ready interior PDF. Free credits make one 5-drawing sample with a mark. You can make a matching cover with the cover generator.

Can I make puzzle books with KDPEasy?

Yes. There are seven puzzle creators: word search, sudoku, crossword, mazes, kakuro, KenKen and number search. Word searches can use AI-made themes and crosswords AI-written clues, and each creator builds a print-ready interior PDF. Without a plan, a puzzle book carries a mark; any plan removes it.

What file formats are exported?

Covers and interiors are exported as print-ready PDFs at 300 DPI, with bleed included where KDP needs it, ready to upload to KDP. Book Studio can also download your listing as a text file.

Do I own the covers I create?

Your words stay yours. For the art you get a commercial license, so you can print, sell and change it on your book. Under current US law AI images may not be protected by copyright, so we can’t promise that nobody else could copy the art.

How long does it take to generate a cover?

A new cover usually takes about 2 minutes. You describe your book, and you get a full-wrap cover with the front, back and spine together, which you can edit for free and download as a print-ready PDF.

What art styles are available?

The picture is art-directed for the kind of book you choose, from thrillers and romance to children’s books, cookbooks and planners, so it looks like the books readers in your genre expect. Say the look you want, such as watercolor, photographic or vintage, in your description. Coloring books come in six line-art styles.

Is AI allowed on KDP?

Yes. KDP accepts books with AI art, but it asks you to say so when you publish. Answer that question honestly on the KDP form.

What if KDP rejects it?

Open it in the editor, change what KDP asked for and download again. Edits are free. Our checks follow KDP’s published specs, but KDP makes the final decision, so we can’t promise approval. If you are stuck, send us the KDP message and a person will help.

Why is there a mark on my free cover?

Free credits make previews, and a preview carries a mark across it. You can edit it as much as you like and download it with the mark. To print it, download it without the mark: its print files cost 5 paid credits, from $7.50, as one payment.

What if a job stops before it finishes?

A cover that stops costs nothing: your credits go straight back. A book that stops costs only the pages made. If something looks wrong, message us with the job number. We usually reply within 24 to 48 hours.
