KDP Cover Studio

About this app

Your book deserves a cover that gets accepted the first time. KDP Cover Studio is a native Mac app that turns Amazon KDP and IngramSpark spec sheets into an exact, print-ready cover — so you never guess a spine width, miss a bleed, or get that dreaded "cover does not meet requirements" email again. No Photoshop. No InDesign subscription. No spine calculators in a browser tab. Open the app, enter your trim size and page count, and design inside guides that are drawn — and enforced — for you. WHY AUTHORS SWITCH TO IT • Exact sizing, automatically — Full-wrap width, spine and bleed are computed from the official specs and update live the moment your page count or trim size changes. • Covers that pass — Safe lines, spine fold and the barcode reserve are enforced on the canvas, so nothing important lands where it will be cut or covered. • One file, verified — Export a single-page vector PDF at the exact MediaBox. The app re-reads the file and confirms its size, single page and embedded fonts before it ever reaches your uploader. • Paperback, hardcover & eBook — Each binding is its own independent draft. Perfect one, and the others stay untouched. • Your ISBN, your barcode — Turn an ISBN-13 into a crisp vector EAN-13 barcode with check-digit verification, dropped straight into the reserved zone. • Catch problems before the printer does — Preflight flags low contrast, low resolution, overflow and off-safe-area text while you can still fix them. BUILT FOR REAL WORKFLOWS • Start fast with a guided wizard, style templates and a live 3D book mockup. • Design on the canvas or in HTML — the two stay in sync. • Batch-export cover variants in a single pass. • Available in English and 简体中文, switchable any time. PRIVATE BY DESIGN KDP Cover Studio runs entirely on your Mac. No account, no sign-in, no data collection — your manuscript and artwork never leave your computer. Pay once. Own it. Publish with confidence. Requires macOS 14 or later. Not affiliated with, or endorsed by, Amazon KDP or IngramSpark; compatible with their published cover specifications.

Momentum comes from crawler snapshots for the tracked storefront. “Viral growth signal” means unusually fast recent rating gains; it is an indicator, not download data.
