KDP bleed explained

Set full-bleed page dimensions correctly.

Short answer

KDP requires 0.125 inch bleed on the top, bottom, and outside edge. A 6 × 9 inch interior with bleed is 6.125 × 9.25 inches.

Steps

  1. Enable bleed if any page reaches the edge.
  2. Extend artwork past the trim line.
  3. Export all pages with the same bleed setting.

How to verify the result

Example: prepare a 24-page image-based activity book and its blank cover template.

Check: This is not KDP certification and does not implement DOCX, EPUB, or cloud project storage.
