What a print-ready book cover needs
A print cover is one file: back cover, spine and front cover, laid out flat. Printers reject files that miss any of these, so we build them in from the start:
- Trim size and bleed: the cover matches your book's trim size, with 0.125 in (3.2 mm) of bleed on the outside edges so nothing white shows after cutting.
- Spine width: calculated from the final page count and paper, which is why the cover is finished after the interior layout.
- Resolution: images at 300 DPI at print size, so the cover stays sharp.
- Barcode and ISBN: placed on the back cover where retailers and printers expect them. See ISBNs for books.
- eBook cover: the front cover on its own, sized for online stores and readable as a thumbnail.

How much does a book cover design cost?
We don't sell covers on their own. Cover design is included in every publishing package: a basic cover in Essentials, an upgraded standard cover in Complete, and a deluxe cover from Premium up, each with concepts and revisions and the barcode and ISBN built in. See the packages page for each package's price.
Who owns the rights to the final book cover design?
You have 100% of the rights to your book cover design. We just keep the right to share it in our professional portfolio to showcase our work.
What process does Harmony Publishing follow to design book covers?
No matter whether you are looking for a professional book cover or a printed cover, our expert team of designers uses the industry's best practices to create attractive & vibrant book covers. We start the process with initial consultations to know your requirements. You can choose the pattern, color, binding, etc. as per your preference. We take iterative feedback to make your vision a reality. Once you are satisfied with the final book cover, you can move ahead towards publishing the book.
How long does the book cover design process take?
The cover is designed alongside your interior, because the spine width comes from the final page count. A full publishing package takes 4–6 weeks standard; occasionally up to 8 weeks.
Can you help with the design for both print and e-books?
Yes. A print cover is a full wrap (back, spine and front) with bleed; an eBook cover is the front only, sized for online stores. Packages from Complete include eBook conversion and distribution, so you get both.
What size should a book cover be?
There is no single size. A print cover is one file with the back cover, spine and front cover, so its size depends on the trim size, the page count and the paper. On KDP, a cover needs 0.125 inch of bleed on the top, bottom and outside edges, and spine text is allowed only on books of at least 79 pages, according to KDP's cover guidelines. Our spine width calculator works out the spine for your page count, and we build the cover to the final page count.
