Yay after 5 video's lucky number 6 straight to the point.. as my autism gets in the way and I'm completely new with all this, I was struggling with Canva Pro and you my friend have saved me haha tyvm, Great Video, Liked and Subbed
I have been working on several different projects. thank you for clearing up something I have been trying to figure out for a while. Thank you! Very clear explanation, and you took the time to show as well. 100 times thank you!!!!!
Wow, your video is the first video that I have watched (and I’ve watched many) , that is very detail and answered my questions. Thank you, thank you. Blessings
Thank you Thank you Thank you! Finally, after hours of trying, I watch a few mins of your video and walla! It worked. You have made my day and saved me money thank you :)
I watched this video (your explanation is very clear - thank you) to see if it would shed some light on my problem. I have also designed a 8.5 x 11 inch trim size book in Canva, and I subsequently resized the source file in Canva, so that the page size increased to the respective 0.125 and 0.25 inches needed for page bleed extent. I've uploaded to KDP (with 'Bleed' selected), and although the previewer file didn't flag any problems, after I hit the 'Publish' button, KDP keeps rejecting my file, saying that another .125 and .25 inch should be added to my page size. I've even tried submitting a file that was OVER the required page size, but KDP still returns the error that I need to increase the page size. I can't fathom how to fix this, because it seems I have done exactly what is requested. If anyone here has any answers, I'd be grateful!
@@Tristan-rules I solved it. I'm not sure how, but I just kept removing anything that could be possibly considered close to the margin (even though the Print Previewer flagged no issues), and eventually after about 15 submit attempts, KDP accepted my file. Also, although this video is pretty clear, I would instead recommend this even better video about margins and bleed in Canva for KDP - vid title: How to Format No-Low Content Books, Margin and Bleed, Easy KDP Tutorial
Gary, I appreciate you so much, because I was finally able to understand the difference. So the PDF document already MAKES ROOM for the bleed, so if I am in Canva, I want to the document AS you would see it.... right?
I've been working on canva and kdp all day, this was the most helpful. You're an amazing reacher. Is that fb group up yet? I'd love to follow you for some guidance. I'm so new to this but I'm sticking with it :)
Absolutely brilliant video, thanks so much, so is it possible to do the front cover with bleed, and then the interior with no bleed, for example, as I am not sure, but are they are 2 separate files to upload to kdp? Just need a bit of help to get this clearer in my mind, thanks so so much for your amazing information 😀🙏
Hi Gary, I have a question: if I choose print on white paper (not cream) but my manuscript page has some gray tint, will be that visible on printed version? Or the printed book will be white? Thanks!
Hello, in your square book you have images in on the pages and that's consider "no bleed"? I thought that even if you have one image its consider a bleed book. Please explain.
I have question please is it possible to change or adjust the bleed gap area cause I got a template for my printing project from the printing company & it has both bleed line and margins numbers to add for R & L pages both so am confused should I go with both bleed and margins based on the template or go with my desired final goal thank you 🙏
so what happens if I chose bleed and nothing reaches the edges? I chose bleed on so many books and not sure if i need to change all of them and change the interior size to choose no bleed!
no need to change anything if the print preview passed the checks and you are happy with them .. bleed just tells amazon you expect the image to go to the edge and okay with it being cutoff when printed...
I'm using Adobe InDesign and I'm creating a book with 192 pages that is 9"x6" with bleed. So I need to know how big to make the actual document. If I set the document to be 9"x6", that is not going to be big enough for the cut lines, right? I can't believe this information doesn't exist, but I cannot find it.
I sent my upload to KDP and received this error message in my email: We checked your files and found issues you need to fix before your book can be published on KDP: Cover Resize the background or image on your cover so that it extends 0.125” (3.2 mm) beyond the trim line. All covers must be sized for bleed, which means you need to add an extra 0.125" (3.2 mm) along the top, bottom, and sides of your cover file. Once you have increased the size of your cover, extend any images or backgrounds that you want to reach all the way to the edge of the page 0.125” (3.2 mm) beyond the trim line. This prevents manufacturing issues when the cover is trimmed to size. Learn more about bleed . Is their a way I can fix this, can you assist with this issue? Thanks
it was a big help, so all I need to do is set the size I want (8.5 * 11) for example then set the print bleed and margine in canva and in KDP I choose with bleed, right? I reaaly need an advice since I was so confused
The canva show bleed feature seems useless to me. It just adds an imaginary bleed margin to the page. But when you create the file you still need to include the bleed sizes anyway. So what's the point?
Correct .. it is still up to you to manage the PDF file with bleed or no bleed, Canva is not setup as a publishing tool... It's just a guide for margins you have to be aware of what you are creating and create your own guides for bleed...
I discovered the purpose of the bleed margin in canva lol. It will be added if you select pdf print and check crop bleed marks. But I would still rather not have the ugly black crop marks in the pdf.
So does it mean that if my 6x9" book is NO BLEED, I create an interior with a size of 6x9" and if it is WITH BLEED, then my interior document actually has to be created with a size of 6.125" x 9.25"?
@UC_sVB8FFybwOZSPS5-sER-g I made this video for you to answer you questions ua-cam.com/video/sW6RPsMi-GU/v-deo.html .. hope it helps, thanks for the questions!
Most of your viewers found this tutorial to be very helpful. I must be pretty dense, because I really don't know what you are trying to say (specifically) as it applies to KDP. Sorry.

Thank you for explaining so well. I was trying to figure out why a couple of my covers were printing showing a little white around the edges.
Glad it was helpful and thanks for leaving the comment letting me know!
Thanks for sharing. Very clear explanation.
Thank you for your way of detailed of what to do. I tried and tried with kdp way and just wasn't getting it.
HI, great video. Does KDP automatically place thin borders around the content?
Precious information.. Thank you
Great .. thanks for letting me know if was helpful!

Thank you so much. I have one question that if you are making a book of 300 pages then how can you set two margins in one book?

cause others say I should not choose that on canva, I should use the ruler by myself
Many thanks! May GOD bless you!
Canva automatically gives me a margin. Should I just go based off that? I would like to extend the text but I'm worried it will get cut off.
The canva show bleed feature seems useless to me. It just adds an imaginary bleed margin to the page. But when you create the file you still need to include the bleed sizes anyway. So what's the point?

Yes bleed has to be calculated in 👍

WTF does KDP stand for?
this is the most confusing video I watched.
