Meeting Cover Art Requirements
In order for your submission to be accepted by all of our partners, there are several specifications your audiobook cover must meet.
- Size: Your cover must be a perfect square— exactly 2400 pixels x 2400 pixels
- File size: must be less than 5 MB
- Format: The file must be in JPG format
- Filename: The filename must be alphanumeric - no need to get fancy here with special characters. Keep it simple. (e.g., AudiobookTitle.jpg )
- Resolution: 72 pixels per inch (ppi) minimum
- Colour: 24 bits per pixel minimum (8 bits per channel) Must be RGB which stands for Red-Green-Blue.
- Contents: The author name and title of the audiobook are the bare minimum. You may also include a subtitle and the narrator’s name on the cover. All details on your cover art must be a 100% match to the information announced in the opening track and closing credits track of your audiobook.
What To Avoid:
- No coloured borders on the sides.
- No offensive material.
- No references to physical (CD) or other media editions.
- No photocopies or photographs of CD jewel cases.
- No promotional stickers (e.g., “On sale now”, “New lower price” etc.).
- Do not use CMYK colour mode (Cyan-Magenta-Yellow-Key/Black) which is used for printing.
- Avoid stretching or shrinking your rectangular book cover to fit a square— the image will be distorted and rejected by retailers.
- Some platforms may feature your audiobook cover with a triangle on the lower right corner, it’s best to avoid any important information around that area if possible.
