Resources

We've created several tools that assist in creating PDFs, covers, barcodes, etc.
Eventually, we'll place them all here for you to use, for free.

• CreateSpace Cover Template Generator

  Create an SVG file and a PNG file

  This tool creates an SVG file for Inkscape or other vector programs, such as Illustrator, and a PNG file for Photoshop.

  The files conform to the CreateSpace cover requirements.

  Just choose your trim size, number of pages, and paper type.

  Width e.g. 8.5
  Height e.g. 11
  Page count
  Paper type	white cream colour
