Kindle eBook Cover Size & Format Guide (2026)
Self-publishing on KDP? Use the wrong format and your cover will look blurry on the store.
1
Golden Dimensions
Amazon recommends **2560 x 1600 pixels** (1.6:1 ratio). This ensures it looks crisp on Retina iPads.
2
No CMYK
Kindle devices are RGB screens. Do not upload CMYK covers, or the colors will shift weirdly.
3
JPG vs TIFF
KDP converts everything to JPG eventually. Upload a high-quality (Heavy) **JPG** to control the conversion yourself.
