Really helpful, but I hit a snag. Canva is only allowing a width with a maximum of 8000 pixels. I wrote a long book and the width is 8358, so I can't use Canva. Will try Publisher instead, but this will be helpful for the future. Thanks.

To me, I don't understand why everyone doesn't use their templates? It's obvious isn't it. So easy if you use template. Thank you for upload.

[@mariygv3371]

I really hope you will reply to me! Could you please tell me which CMYK profile you are using? The way your cover looks in the graphic editor is almost identical to how it looks in the Amazon previewer. However, my cover's appearance is very different. I am trying different profiles and constantly getting different results, but I haven't yet achieved a version where the editor's version almost matches the previewer version. Please help 🙏🏻

[@everydaylifemoneymatters]

Hi I do not use any CMYK profile...I use Canva to create the cover and I save and upload it to Amazon KDP...I believe if you use a CMYK profile your cover becomes distorted...I would suggest that if you are using photoshop or any other tool for pictures that you save it and upload to Canva so that you get the best possible result...hope this was helpful and thanks for viewing.

Hi How accurate should number of pages be? Say, if I have 54 pages but I might wanna add a few more pages. Would the cover with 54 pages still fit?

[@outofthebox7]

Hi. How do I turn of guidelines?? If I have an image on the front cover, it says that it should not be on the red part, but the trim line where the cut will be made leaves space between the image and the cut, so will the background color show there? And what if I don't want the same background color for both sides of the book? PS. That box with the turn off your guidelines etc. does not show up on my page, how come? Thanks for your time!

[@everydaylifemoneymatters]

Hi...the background that you choose for your book will cover that area...the trim line is primarily to ensure that you do not put words or images beyond that limit...if you do your cover will not be approved... Most definitely you can have two different backgrounds for the front and back of your book...Check out this video where I did something similar...kzbin.info/www/bejne/j2TMmpmhgrqFZpI hope it helps and thanks for viewing.

[@outofthebox7]

@@everydaylifemoneymatters Thank you for your time. 1) This cannot be right. They can't force you to place a frame on the side of your picture in the middle; I want to stretch it from edge to edge. 2) You do not show how to place different color background on front and back.

after this process, how do you upload the file as the book cover? because I tried this method, but it uploads it just as the book cover and doesen't modify the back

[@everydaylifemoneymatters]

Hi...once you have created your book cover...you simply save it in pdf format...when you save your cover both the front and back is on one document...you then upload the pdf to your KDP account...if the back cover is not properly formatted you will have to make the adjustments in Canva and then save and upload to KDP again...hope this helps and thanks for viewing...
