PDF to EPUB Converter

How to Convert a PDF to EPUB

1. Drop your PDF onto the tool, or click Choose PDF File to browse for it. The text is read inside your browser tab.
2. Check the chapters and preview. The list shows the chapters the tool found, and the preview shows how the text will read.
3. Fill in the book details. Book Title is filled from the first line of the PDF, so correct it if it is wrong. Add the Author and pick the Language.
4. Choose Chapter Detection. Auto (detect headings) is the default. If it finds no real chapters in a longer PDF, it cuts the book into 10-page sections. You can also use one chapter per page, every 5 or 10 pages, or a single chapter.
5. Pick the look and options. Font Size and Theme set the reading style. The switches add a cover page, a contents page and page labels, or keep the original line breaks.
6. Click Convert to EPUB. The file is saved with your PDF's name and a .epub ending.

Why Use This PDF to EPUB Converter

• Your file stays on your device. The PDF is read and the EPUB is built by your browser. Nothing is sent to a server.
• Text that reflows. Lines join into paragraphs, so an e-reader can change the font size and wrap text to fit its screen. Turn on Preserve line breaks if every line should stay on its own.
• A real contents menu. The EPUB carries a navigation file, so reading apps show a chapter list. The Include Table of Contents switch also adds a contents page after the cover.
• Your own title, author and language. These go into the EPUB's details and show up in your reading app. Arabic and Urdu books are set to read right to left.
• Look and options that apply. Font Size, Theme (light, sepia or paper), the cover page and page labels all change the file. Some e-readers let the reader override fonts and colors.

Good to know: this converter keeps text only. Images, tables, fonts and the original page layout are left behind. Headers, footers and page numbers are read as ordinary lines, and pages with several columns can come out interleaved. Chapter detection is a guess based on headings, so check the chapter list before you convert. A scanned PDF has no text to read, so you would need OCR PDF first. The cover page shows only the title and author, not an image.

FAQ

How do I convert a PDF to EPUB?

Drop the PDF onto the tool, check the title, author and chapters, then click Convert to EPUB. The file is built in your browser and downloads right away.

Will images and layout carry over to the EPUB?

No. The tool keeps the text only. Pictures, tables, fonts and the page layout are not included, which is why the EPUB can reflow on any screen.

How are chapters decided?

In Auto mode the tool looks near the top of each page for headings, such as Chapter 1, numbered titles, all-capital lines or short title-case lines. If it finds one chapter or none in a PDF longer than five pages, it splits the book into 10-page sections instead. You can also choose fixed splits.

Do the Font Size, Theme and Cover options change the file?

Yes. Font Size and Theme are written into the book's style sheet, and the cover switch adds or removes the title page. A few e-readers apply their own fonts and colors over the book's style.

What does Preserve line breaks do?

Off, the lines of a paragraph are joined so the text wraps to the screen. On, every line from the PDF stays on its own line, which suits poems or lists.

Is my PDF uploaded to a server?

No. Your file stays on your device. Your browser reads the PDF and packages the EPUB on its own.

Is there a file size limit?

Your file size limit is shown on this page, and a free account raises it.
