KDP Book Cover Prompt Builder — Front, Wrap & Spine
Couldn't load pickup availability
A pretty rectangle is not a KDP cover. The title dies at phone size. The spine is guessed. The barcode sits on the art. The wrap fails the calculator.
The AI KDP Book Cover Prompt Builder is a Google Sheets tool for front covers, full wraps, spines and series lockups. Fill 32 dropdowns. Get five outputs for Ideogram and Midjourney. Built for Amazon KDP paperbacks, hardcovers and Kindle fronts.

FAQ
Does this export the print PDF wrap?
No. It writes the prompts and the wrap rules. You assemble the file in Canva or InDesign using the KDP calculator size.
Can the spine hold a title on a 40-page journal?
No. Under 79 pages the builder tells you to skip spine text.
Will the title spell correctly?
Use Ideogram or add type in Canva. Do not rely on painted-in words.
