This depends on what resolution you want to use. 150 pixels per inch is a fairly common resolution. The front cover should be 12cm by 12cm (12cm is 4.75 inches) which works out to be a 712 pixel square. If you would prefer a booklet style front cover, then double the width. The back cover should be 15cm (5.92 inches) wide and 11.85cm (4.67 inches) high, which is 886 by 700 pixels. This includes the left and right “lips” which are 6mm/0.25 inches/36 pixels.
