Features

Why Use This PDF to FB2 Converter

Your file stays on your device. The text is read and the eBook file is built by your browser. Nothing is sent to a server.
Real FictionBook 2.0 XML. The file carries your title, author, genre, language and chapters, and opens in FB2 readers such as FBReader, Cool Reader and PocketBook.
Reflowable text. Lines of a paragraph are joined and words split by a line-end hyphen are repaired, so the book adapts to your screen and font size.
Cleaner pages. In longer PDFs, page numbers and headers or footers that repeat on most pages are removed.
Room for real documents. Your file size limit is shown on this page, and a free account raises it.

Good to know: the FB2 holds text only. Pictures, tables, columns and fonts from the PDF are not carried over. Chapter detection in Auto mode looks for larger heading text, lines such as Chapter 1 and short all-capital lines, so check the chapter list in your reader. Multi-column pages can come out interleaved. Scanned PDFs have no text to read and give an empty book. Kindle does not open FB2 directly, so convert it with Calibre first, or try PDF to EPUB instead.
