BookCoversLab: Kdp cover calculator and creator

Hey Product Hunt! I’m Leah, maker of BookCoversLab—a KDP cover calculator and creator built for stress‑free printing. Why we built it: Uploading a “print‑ready” cover to KDP often feels like guesswork. Rejections for spine width, bleed, DPI, or CMYK issues slow authors down. We wanted a tool that makes compliance the default. What’s inside: - Real‑time preflight: live KDP cover size calculator with trim, spine, and bleed updates as you design. - Auto spine math: page count × paper type, calculated on the fly. - One‑click bestseller styling: typography presets inspired by top Amazon categories. - AI inspiration: generate on‑brand cover backgrounds—or upload your own art. - Print‑ready export: 300 DPI, CMYK, full‑wrap PDF with bleed and safe zones. Who it’s for: - First‑time authors who want a professional, compliant cover fast - Designers who need reliable, repeatable templates for clients - Teams shipping series with consistent typography and brand settings Plans: - AI eBook: high‑res eBook cover - AI Print Pro: KDP paperback PDF - AI Author Suite: eBook + Paperback + Hardcover + Audiobook (ACX) - AI Marketing Suite: A+ content and social creatives We’d love your feedback: - Which category presets or genres should we add next? - Any edge cases you’ve hit with KDP specs (hardcover hinge/turn‑ins, barcode zones, ultra‑high page counts)? - Want a Figma export or InDesign template sync? Thanks for checking us out! If you’re publishing soon, try the free KDP cover template and let us know where the workflow can be smoother. I’ll be here all day answering questions.
