Book templates that print perfectly.
Correctly-formatted cover and text templates for our most popular trim sizes. Whether you're formatting the book yourself or handing it to a designer, these show exactly how your files should be set up — with the right margins and bleeds so nothing gets trimmed off.
Get the setup right before you print.
These aren't just nice-to-haves. Proper margins and bleeds are what stand between a clean finished book and one with text trimmed off or buried in the spine.
Nothing gets trimmed off
Every book gets a final knife trim. The template's bleed and margin guides make sure your text and images stay safely inside the cut line.
Text stays centered
Correct margins keep your text properly centered on the page — on both the interior and the cover — so the finished book looks professional.
Easy to read at the spine
The right inside margin keeps your paragraphs out of the gutter, so readers don't have to crack the spine open just to read the words near it.
Pick your trim size.
Each size includes two templates — one for your cover, one for your interior text. Download the pair that matches your book.
