How Veritas Canvas works

A print-ready book cover for Amazon KDP — without hiring a designer or learning complex software. Four steps to a front, spine and back in one file.

1Size and spine

Pick your trim size; spine width is calculated automatically from your page count. Bleed and safe-zone lines are in place from the start.

2Design and title

Tap a ready-made design across 17 genres; your title and author name land on it instantly. Genre typography composes itself.

3Photo and typography

Search the built-in Unsplash pool or upload your own image. The title stays readable over any photo; contrast is handled automatically.

4Full wrap and 300 DPI

Switch to full-wrap, enter your page count; the barcode zone stays clear. Export a print-ready PDF or PNG at 300 DPI and upload to KDP.

Why not a generic design tool?

Generic editors help you design; Veritas Canvas helps you publish. The difference is knowing KDP's real rules.
