PDF to EPUB Converter

Turn a text PDF into a reflowable EPUB ebook you can read comfortably on Kindle, Apple Books, Kobo and any e-reader — with text that resizes to fit the screen. Free and private: it runs in your browser and your file is never uploaded.

How it works

The tool reads the text out of your PDF with an in-browser PDF engine, rebuilds it into flowing paragraphs and headings, and packages it as a standard EPUB(a zip of XHTML + CSS). Because everything happens on your device, it’s fast, free and completely private.

What converts well — and what doesn’t

PDF is a fixed-layout format (text is placed at exact positions), while EPUB is reflowable (text flows to fit any screen). Converting between them is genuinely hard — even desktop apps like Calibre call PDF one of the worst formats to convert from. So set expectations accordingly:

  • Converts well: plain text PDFs — novels, reports, articles, single-column documents.
  • Converts poorly: heavy multi-column layouts, complex tables, magazines and forms.
  • Won’t convert: scanned PDFs (just page images with no real text). Run those through the Image to Text (OCR) tool first.

Reading your EPUB

The file is a standard EPUB 3(with EPUB 2 navigation for older readers), so it opens in Apple Books, Kobo, Google Play Books and most e-readers. For Kindle, use Amazon’s Send-to-Kindle, which accepts EPUB.

Frequently asked questions

How do I convert a PDF to EPUB?

Choose your PDF, wait a moment while the text is read in your browser, set the book title and author, then click Download EPUB. The whole conversion happens on your device — nothing is uploaded.

Why doesn't my converted EPUB look exactly like the PDF?

PDF is a fixed-layout format and EPUB is reflowable (text resizes to fit any screen), so a perfect match isn't possible — this is true of every PDF-to-EPUB converter, including desktop apps. The tool rebuilds the text into flowing paragraphs and headings, which works best for text-based PDFs like books and documents.

It made an almost-empty EPUB — why?

Your PDF is probably scanned (made of page images with no real text). EPUB needs actual text, so there's nothing to extract. Run the PDF through our Image to Text (OCR) tool first to get the text, then convert that.

Will the EPUB work on Kindle, Apple Books and Kobo?

Yes. It produces a standard EPUB 3 (with EPUB 2 navigation for older readers), which Apple Books, Kobo, Google Play Books and most e-readers open directly. Modern Kindle and the Send-to-Kindle service also accept EPUB.

Is it free and private?

Completely. It's free, needs no sign-in, and runs entirely in your browser — your PDF never leaves your device.
