How to Format Your Amazon Book Description

Amazon KDP accepts basic HTML formatting in book descriptions, but the KDP dashboard doesn't provide a visual editor. Most authors either paste unformatted plain text (which looks flat and unprofessional) or struggle with raw HTML tags. This tool bridges that gap — write naturally, get perfect HTML output.

Supported Amazon HTML Tags

Amazon book descriptions support a limited set of HTML: bold text with <b> tags, italic text with <i> tags, and line breaks with <br/> tags. Headings, images, links, and custom fonts are not supported. This formatter uses only Amazon-compatible tags to ensure your description displays correctly on all devices.

Tips for a High-Converting Book Description

Lead with a bold hook that creates curiosity or states a compelling benefit. Use short paragraphs — Amazon descriptions display on narrow mobile screens. Include bullet points for key benefits or plot points. End with a clear call to action. Keep the total length under 4,000 characters (Amazon's limit). Use the preview panel to check how your description will look before pasting it into KDP.
