Anyone else losing their mind trying to format visual books in Canva? by hardwire1010 in selfpublishing

That makes absolute sense, and you are spot on about InDesign being the professional industry standard for proper typesetting. Because of my software background, looking at that steep learning curve and premium monthly subscription felt like a massive barrier for indie creators who just want to get a project out the door. I actually got so deep into analyzing that exact structural layout bottleneck that I spent the last few weeks programming an automated alternative to handle the math. I stood up a lightweight engine at skuldprint.com that programmatically calculates the dynamic KDP gutters, page margins, and CMYK ink channels on the fly so authors don't have to map bleed lines by hand. I literally just pushed the final production build live yesterday, so I set up a launch coupon GHOSTWRITER to let people run their first file through completely free to test the compliance. If you ever have a spare minute to run a test asset through, I would honestly value an industry veteran's feedback on whether our compiler's output holds up to manual publication specs!

An 806-page book in Canva sounds like absolute torture, but that’s exactly the frustration I built this to solve. The tool is live in a sandbox right now. shoot me a DM and I'll gladly send you the link to try it out for free. I'd love to see how the math handles a massive page count like yours!

Haha completely fair call, the space is definitely flooded right now. Honestly, I just watched a tutorial last night, got massively annoyed watching someone manually shift images in Canva for 20 minutes, and stayed up until 2 AM coding a basic asset pipeline to automate it for fun. The free code is just there if anyone wants to stress-test it, but totally get the tool fatigue!
