image-based paperback interiors interior preparation
Best fit: Any KDP paperback where the interior is a folder of finished page images rather than a text manuscript.
Book Interior Kit facts
- Your images stay on this computer.
- Process the whole folder in one batch, including hundreds of images.
- Installed locally, so layout work can continue offline.
- Pay once and keep using it.
Production workflow
- Prepare one image file for each interior page and name files in print order.
- Pick the paperback trim size, bleed mode, orientation, color mode, and fit behavior.
- Convert the folder into consistent 300 DPI pages and review the local PDF preview.
- Export with Pro only when the preview matches the intended interior.
Spec decisions for this book type
- Pixel dimensions should support the selected trim size at 300 DPI.
- Bleed is a page setup choice, not something to add after the PDF is assembled.
- Use grayscale for black-and-white interiors and color only when the print option requires it.
- KDP Previewer remains the final review step before publication.

Honest boundary
Book Interior Kit helps reduce common file-preparation mistakes, but it does not guarantee KDP approval and does not replace the final KDP Previewer review.
