Cover formatting
KDP rejected your cover?
Your interior passed. Your cover didn't. The reasons aren't always obvious and PublishPro catches them before you upload.
"Why does my spine text keep getting flagged?"
Sara John
Spine text too close to the edge
KDP requires 0.0625" of clear space around spine text. Too close and it wraps onto your front or back cover.
PublishPro checks your spine margins automatically, before export.
"Why does KDP say my cover and manuscript don't match?"
Fredrick Mark
Cover Doesn't Match Your Manuscript
Your cover dimensions must align with your interior's trim size and page count, including spine width.Update one without the other and KDP flags it.
PublishPro auto size both together, every time.
"Why does my cover look pixelated after upload?"
Henry Daniel
Low-Resolution Cover Images
A cover that looks sharp on screen can print blurry if it's below 300 DPI.
PublishPro auto checks your cover resolution before export, not after rejection.
