Question 1

What size should a book cover be for KDP or IngramSpark?

Accepted Answer

Amazon KDP and most print-on-demand services recommend 1600x2560 pixels (6x9 inches at 267 DPI) for the front cover. The tool exports at 1800x2700, which exceeds KDP's minimum of 625x1000 and prints crisply at 6x9, 5x8 or any standard trim size.

Question 2

Can I use my own artwork or photo on the book cover?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Click Upload Artwork to load any JPG, PNG or WebP image. The artwork fills the cover background and your title, subtitle and author name overlay on top with a darkening scrim for legibility. Your image stays in your browser.

Question 3

Is the book cover maker free with no watermark?

Accepted Answer

Yes, completely free, no signup and no watermark. The cover is generated locally with the HTML canvas. The exported PNG is ready for KDP, IngramSpark, Apple Books or any eBook retailer.

Question 4

Does the tool include the book spine and back cover?

Accepted Answer

This tool focuses on the front cover, which is what most self-published authors need first for KDP eBooks and pre-launch marketing. The exported PNG is sized for the front cover only — for a full wraparound cover with spine, multiply the page count by the paper thickness and add it to the width.
