Width and height of the visible cover area after it's printed. Total width and height of the cover file, including front, back, spine, and wrap. After you enter your ink and paper choices, trim size, and page count, the calculator will generate a layout like this: If you want to set up your file yourself, try our cover calculator and template generator. Our templates make it easier to create a print-ready paperback cover with programs that can open a PNG or PDF file and save a PDF file. To size your cover file with bleed, add 0.125' (3.2 mm) to the top, bottom, and outside edges of your cover. Bleed is a printing term that refers to when printed items on a page, such as images or backgrounds, reach all the way to the edge of the page.

Your cover needs to be sized with bleed in order to meet our quality standards. We recommend a file size of 40MB or less because large files can slow down printing. Cover files larger than 650MB won't convert. Your cover must be a single PDF file that includes the back cover, spine, and front cover as one image.
