How it works
This tool converts a PDF into an EPUB — the open e-book format that reflows text to fit any screen and font size, unlike a PDF's fixed pages. It reads the text out of your PDF in your browser, reconstructs paragraphs and headings, and packages a valid EPUB 3 (with a table of contents and legacy-reader support) that opens in Apple Books, Google Play Books, Kobo, Calibre and more.
Be clear about what conversion can and can't do: PDF is a fixed-layout format and EPUB is a flowing one, so the result is best for single-column, text-first documents like novels, reports and papers. Multi-column layouts, tables and heavily designed pages get simplified into a linear text flow. If a page is a scan (an image with no text layer), there's nothing to extract — the tool detects those pages and offers to OCR them on your device (English for now).
Everything runs locally: your PDF is read, converted and packaged in your browser, and the EPUB is saved straight to your device. No upload, no account, no watermark — safe for manuscripts, private reports and anything you'd rather not send to a server. You can confirm in the network tab that the file never leaves your device.
Frequently asked questions
Why does my converted EPUB look simpler than the PDF?
EPUB reflows text to fit any screen, so it can't preserve a PDF's exact fixed layout. This tool keeps the reading text, paragraphs and headings; multi-column layouts, tables and decorative elements are flattened into a single readable flow. For pixel-perfect layout, keep the original PDF.
Can it convert a scanned PDF?
Yes, with OCR. A scan is just images, so there's no text to extract directly. The tool detects scanned pages and offers to run on-device OCR (English) to read them. It's slower — a few seconds per page — but nothing is uploaded.
Does it keep images from the PDF?
Not in this version — it focuses on reflowing the text. If your document is image-heavy, the original PDF or the JPG-to-EPUB tool may suit better. Image extraction from PDFs is on the roadmap.
