kdp press check
KDP Press Check is a free set of tools for self-publishing authors. Upload your book and see exactly what Amazon KDP will flag, before you submit, so a rejected upload never catches you by surprise.
Amazon KDP tells you a file is wrong only after you've uploaded it, and often in vague language. This tool checks the same things up front: trim size, margins and gutter, bleed, embedded fonts, image resolution, Kindle structure, cover spine and barcode zones, keywords, page count, and more. Each result comes with a plain-English fix.
First-time and experienced self-publishers who want to hit "Publish" with confidence, whether you wrote the book yourself or had it ghostwritten and formatted.
Yes. Every check and tool on this site is free to use. We may earn a commission if you buy a recommended tool or hire through a linked service, at no extra cost to you, and that's clearly labelled where it applies. It never changes the results a check gives you.
Your uploads are analyzed in your session and deleted the moment the check is done. We don't store your manuscript or cover. See our privacy page for details.
