Creating a KDP Cover Template in Canva
for some reason when I did it it is a zoom up version of my cover design . I have no idea what I did wrong ugh
ردحذفThank you! you have the best video!
ردحذفYoure a genius
ردحذفWhy do you have to add “journal” or “notebook” on the cover? I’ve bought journals on Amazon that have only design and no words. Words on front are tacky. I don’t get it.
ردحذفI wish I would have watched this video before creating work in Canva! 😩 Thank you for sharing!
ردحذفThank you for this information!
ردحذفThank you!
ردحذفThank you so much! This was awesome!! You do a great job explaining. :)
ردحذفThank you so much, better this way, and more organised. We'll done 🎉
ردحذفYou pretty much saved me from becoming bald today! I was about to pull my hair out because of the error message I kept getting telling, me that the template file was too big for Canva. Thank you so much for telling me about the free reducers. YOU'RE A LIFE SAVER! You were just the geek I needed. Lol! Have a blessed day!
ردحذفVery nice tutorial, thank you! I made a KDP print cover in Photoshop Elements using the KDP template. Dealing with the bleed and setting things where they needed to be wasn't too difficult, but getting the spine accurate drove me nuts. I guess if I want a really smooth process, I'll need to get Canva Pro. Again, thank you so much for a clear and helpful tute.
ردحذفWonderful...so helpful.Thanks!!
ردحذفHi. Been looking for this solution and you had all my problems covered. Awesome. Thanks and new subscriber here !
ردحذفHugely helpful. Thank you.
ردحذفI followed these directions exactly and when I upload to KDP they accept it and when I preview it shows up I only see the color background but no letters or graphics. Dies it take a long time to actually show up in the preview section
ردحذفVery helpful thank you. I have seen that I should remove the template guidelines before downloading, but they have disappeared as they did in yours. Does that mean that it is OK?
ردحذفWe have the image too large once we transfer it to the preview on Kdp can you pls clarify how to fix this? 🙏 thanks
ردحذفEven still in 2021, this video is a huge blessing! Thanks for sharing!
ردحذفBest video I have seen on creating a cover with Canva. I was trying to figure it out. Thanks other YouTubers just say "create a cover" and give you fluff. Thanks keep up the good work. I appreciate it!
ردحذفClever girl 😀👏 finally got the right idea on how to create cover for Lcb.
ردحذفI am thankful to you, it is very helpful for me
ردحذفThank you, darling, I love it how you explain it so naturally
ردحذفWhen I right click on the downloaded template, it immediately opens up in the Windows Photo viewer, without any option to check 'Properties'. Getting these file sizes is the worst part when you get to KDP editing
ردحذفWhen I right click I don’t see dimensions. Even when I open the file and right click to properties to don’t see dimension, can I just put in the mm book size in cannva?
ردحذفHi! And what is the size of the cover needed for coloring books? 6 x 9 or 8.5 x 11 inches? Thanks!
ردحذفHi! Where do these numbers come from: 3756 to 2775?
ردحذفCan I add a background that I saved from google images and place it across the whole cover, instead of using seperate colours? So it’s just one uniform front cover
ردحذفWhen you upload the final file to KDP using this method the cover is WAY TOO big in preview but somehow passes initial test, this process is so confusing
ردحذفthe kdp cover template site is no longer working
ردحذفI have just started this process and with my PC, the right clicking didn't work on the file name, you had to actually open the png file and then right click on the image. Just FYI in case this happens to others. Thanks for this!! Very helpful so far...need to keep going :-)
ردحذفVery well explained and super helpful. Thanks so much!
