What's included at this price — the honesty box
This is stock-image-based design: licensed stock imagery, with typography and layout composed
to your genre, delivered as KDP-spec files. It is a different product from commissioned
illustration or custom photography — and we say so instead of pretending otherwise. Premade and
stock-based covers sell at exactly this price point across the market; custom studios start
several times higher. If your book needs commissioned artwork, a premium studio is the right buy,
and we'll tell you that in the consultation.
The spec box — trust via accuracy
eBook cover: JPEG or TIFF, ideal 2560×1600 pixels, height/width ratio at least 1.6:1,
under 50MB, RGB color.
Print wrap: one PDF containing back cover, spine, and front cover; minimum 300 DPI; CMYK
recommended; 0.125" bleed; spine text only at 79+ pages (KDP rule).
Hardcover candor: KDP hardcovers are case-laminate only — there is no dust jacket, so we
never mock one up for a KDP-only book.
These are Amazon KDP's published cover specifications — check them against Amazon's own help
pages; being exactly right about platform rules is the point.
What is NOT included
Commissioned illustration or custom photography (this is a disclosed stock-image-based tier),
interior design, A+ Content images (its own service — see below), and hardcover dust jackets
(none exist on KDP).
What we need from you
Title, subtitle, author name; genre plus 2–3 comparable titles you like; back-cover text (print);
trim size and final page count (for spine width); and whether you'll use the free KDP ISBN
barcode or your own.
Process

Concept delivered.
You pick the direction.
Included rounds of changes on the direction you picked; changes requested after final approval
are billed at the published rate.
Final files sized to your exact spine width.
Frequently asked questions
Why is this so much cheaper than a custom cover studio?
Because it's a different product, and we say so: stock-image-based design rather than custom
illustration. If your book needs commissioned artwork, a premium studio is the right buy — we'll
tell you that in the consultation instead of pretending to be one.
What if KDP rejects the cover file?
We fix any KDP upload error on files we produced, free. Our files are built against Amazon's
published cover specs, which is why rejections are the exception — and why we publish the specs
right on this page.
Do I own the cover?
Yes — the delivered files are yours, and the layered source files are available as a priced
add-on ($100). Stock-image licensing terms are included with delivery so you know what the
imagery permits.
Do you design for both eBook and print?
Yes, as two distinct artifacts, because Amazon requires two: an RGB JPEG/TIFF for the store
listing and a CMYK print-ready PDF wrap sized to your exact page count and trim. One "cover
image" cannot serve both.
