Frequently asked questions
What DPI does KDP need for images?
300 DPI at the printed size is the recommended standard for print books. Always check the current requirements and cover template for your trim size and page count.
Does a full cover need extra pixels?
Yes. A paperback cover includes the back, spine and bleed, so its size is larger than the trim size. Use the cover template dimensions as the print size.
Can I convert interior illustrations in bulk?
Yes. Upload several images to the converter and download them all at 300 DPI in one go.
