Title creation limit To ensure a positive customer experience, we limit the number of titles you can create at the same time and within a specific period of time. If you expect to regularly create a large number of titles, please contact us to inquire about an exception. File guidelines Manuscript Bleed: If your book has images or elements that bleed to the edges of your pages, you must upload your manuscript as a PDF. No Bleed: If your book does not contain bleed, you can upload your manuscript as a PDF, DOC, DOCX, RTF, HTML, or TXT file. KDP will automatically convert these file types to PDF prior to publishing/printing. Note: For Japanese, Hebrew, Latin or Yiddish, you can only upload PDF. Cover You can create your book cover using KDP’s Cover Creator tool or submit your book cover in a PDF. (Cover Creator accepts JPG, PNG, and GIF file formats.) File specifications Ensure file size is not more than 650MB. Embed all fonts and images in your native file prior to submission. Flatten transparent objects and layers in the native file before publishing. Submitted files should not contain crop marks, trim marks, bookmarks, comments, invisible objects, annotations, placeholder text, or metadata. All images (both cover and manuscript) should be at least 300 DPI. Optimize PDFs. Optimization is useful to reduce your file size, allowing for higher performance when transferring, uploading, viewing, and printing the files.
