KDP Book Description HTML Generator
Select text and use the buttons to add formatting, see a live preview, then copy the HTML to paste into your KDP description field.
This covers the commonly supported, well-established formatting tags: bold, italic, line breaks, and lists. KDP's exact supported tag list isn't published with full precision and can change, so preview your description inside KDP itself after pasting to confirm it rendered the way you expect.
Common questions
What HTML tags does KDP support in descriptions?
The commonly supported set includes bold, italic, line breaks, paragraphs, and lists. Beyond that, test it in KDP's own preview before publishing since the full list isn't published precisely.
How do I add formatting to my description?
Write or paste your description above, select text, use the formatting buttons, then copy the generated HTML and paste it into your book's description field in KDP.
Why isn't my formatting showing up on the book page?
Usually because the tags used aren't in KDP's supported set, or the HTML was pasted as escaped text rather than raw HTML. Always preview inside KDP itself after pasting.
Why this matters
A wall of unformatted text is a real, missed opportunity on a book's product page, bold and lists genuinely help a description get read instead of skimmed past. Writing raw HTML tags by hand is easy to get wrong; this just handles the tag-wrapping for you.
