Full-Wrap Book Cover Maker
A full-wrap cover is one image that covers the back, the spine and the front of a paperback, plus 0.125 in of bleed on every outer edge. PrintReadyCovers builds that layout from your trim size and page count, so you design all three panels in one place and export a 300 DPI PDF for KDP.

How it works
- Choose the trim size and enter your page count. The spine width updates as you type.
- Design the front, spine and back on one canvas. The barcode area and safe zones are marked.
- Export a 300 DPI full-wrap PDF. The studio checks bleed, spine and resolution before every export.

Questions about full-wrap covers
What size is a full-wrap cover?
Width = 2 × trim width + spine width + 2 × 0.125 in bleed. Height = trim height + 2 × 0.125 in. Spine width = page count × paper thickness.
Does the back cover need a barcode?
KDP prints its barcode in the 2 × 1.2 in area at the lower right of the back cover, covering whatever is under it. Keep that area empty; the studio marks it.
Can I use my own front cover?
Yes. Upload it in the studio, enter your page count, then add the spine and back cover around it.
