Studio pack preview

Full-wrap PDFs stay free. Studio delivers editable layers and prepared edition batches in one ZIP.

    Studio exports send the prepared cover artwork and text to our server temporarily. We do not store them.

    Checking checkout availability…

    Checkout temporarily keeps this project on this device so it survives the payment round trip. The prepared request must fit 20 MiB and its compressed transfer 4 MiB; size is checked before checkout. Download your ZIP before leaving. One purchase covers one pack; identical requests can retry for ten minutes.

    From front cover to full wrap

    1. Bring your front cover. Use PNG or JPEG, up to 15 MiB and 24 megapixels. Images and their existing text remain flat artwork. Add new text as separate layers.
    2. Choose your final print specifications. KDP paperback, black-ink interiors, white or cream paper. Pick 5×8, 5.5×8.5, 6×9 or 8.5×11. Page limits depend on both paper and trim.
    3. Finish the back and spine. Add your blurb, optional quotes or bio, choose one of eight layouts, and check the crop and actual effective image resolution.
    4. Download your PDF free. One full wrap, exact physical dimensions, embedded fonts, no guides or watermark. For editable handoff files or several reflowed editions, preview the Studio pack.

    A real size example

    A 6×9-inch, 240-page book on white paper has a 0.54048-inch spine. Its full wrap is 12.79048×9.25 inches, including 0.125-inch bleed around the outside. Changing to cream makes the spine 0.6 inches and the wrap 12.85×9.25 inches. Changing the trim reflows the text and crops images proportionally.

    Template, proof and finished cover

    A blank reference template contains guidelines, not your artwork. Your free finished PDF includes the artwork and added text; guideline labels are removed. We reserve a white 2×1.2-inch barcode area on the back. We do not generate an ISBN or guarantee KDP approval.

    The source image’s pixels determine its sharpness. A “300 DPI” file setting cannot restore detail that is missing from a small image. Low resolution and cropping require your review; overflowing text and invalid dimensions block export.

    Common questions

    Can I edit the words in my uploaded image?

    No. Existing words are part of that PNG/JPEG. You can replace the image or add editable text in CoverWrap. Studio SVGs preserve the text this tool adds.

    Does a single PDF cost anything?

    No. Complete single-edition PDFs, editing, basic checks, blank templates, and local project saving are free without an account. Studio provides editable handoff packages and up to eight independently reflowed editions in one ZIP. Studio is $9.99 once per ZIP, plus applicable tax shown at checkout.

    Are my files uploaded?

    Free editing, PDFs and saved projects run locally. Only a requested Studio export sends prepared artwork, used text and specifications temporarily to this site’s server to generate the ZIP in memory. They are not stored or sent to a third-party generator.

    Can this make hardcover or IngramSpark files?

    No. This version supports KDP paperbacks with black-ink interiors, white/cream paper and the four listed trims. It does not support hardcover, jackets, RTL, color interiors or other publishing platforms.
