No. It checks your PDF against KDP's published formatting requirements before you upload. Amazon still runs their own review — this tool helps you pass it on the first try by catching the issues that cause most rejections.
Margins, trim size, bleed, font embedding, page size consistency, image resolution, colour mode, and more — 26 KDP print requirements in total. The scan tells you exactly which rules your file fails and where.
No. The tool identifies every issue and tells you exactly where it is and how to fix it. You make the corrections in your layout app (InDesign, Canva, Word, Affinity Publisher), re-export as PDF, then re-upload to KDP.
Most scans complete in under 90 seconds. Larger files — 100+ pages or heavy images — may take up to 3 minutes. Keep the tab open while your scan runs.
The full annotated PDF — every issue flagged on the exact page it appears, with plain-English fix instructions. You can download it, share it with your designer or formatter, and use it as a checklist before re-uploading.
$9 includes 1 full scan and 1 free recheck. Credits never expire — use the recheck after making your fixes to confirm the PDF is clean before you upload to Amazon.
