KDP Says My Cover Is the Wrong Size

Cover sizing issues can happen when your KDP and Coverjig settings aren’t properly lined up.

The most common reason is that an incorrect page count has been entered in Coverjig. Please make sure that the number of pages entered in Coverjig matches the number of pages in your manuscript.

The other settings to check are the trim size and paper / ink type as these also directly affect the final size of your cover files. These settings are displayed for each of your covers in theCompleted Covers tab of your account.

If you need to change any of these details, you can make a revision and update them in the Book Settings Menu () on the design screen. Select the relevant format first, then update the settings shown below the format options.

You can also check the expected cover dimensions with our free KDP cover size calculator. Use the same trim size, final page count, and ink and paper type as your KDP book, and select the matching paperback or hardcover format.
