How to use the result

Interior PDF dimensions include bleed only if selected. Paperback cover width includes back + spine + front + two outer bleed edges. Hardcover and jacket results use your official template dimensions instead of a paperback formula.

KDP results use its published paperback spine factors. IngramSpark’s interior margin figure is its recommended 0.5-inch safety distance; its own template remains authoritative for binding details. The page-count minimum interior margin for KDP is a requirement, not a design recommendation.
