We will keep the checklist short and send you only what helps before upload. No card needed.

We do not ask for your manuscript or card details here.

Same file, different rules

KDP requires disclosure for AI-generated text, images, and translations. Apple Books expects an AI Generated by contributor role. IngramSpark can reject fully automated content, and Etsy wants an original concept plus disclosure.

The check maps these differences so a version-locked release stays compliant on every store you send it to.

What stays out of scope

This is a guidance helper, not a publisher. Each store's help page and the current terms decide the outcome; the checker only surfaces the differences.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Does the tool upload title data?

No. Every check runs in this browser; nothing is sent.

Is the AI disclosure this tool suggests enough?

It points at the fields platforms ask for. The exact wording and placement belong in the release package, where the metadata report mirrors the published version.

One release package, every store it can reach.

The release package keeps the disclosure statement and metadata consistent with the exact version you publish.
