PDF to EPUB

Turn PDF documents into EPUB e-books for Kindle, iPad, and other readers. Text extracted, chapters detected, images preserved. Free, private, all in your browser.

About PDF to EPUB

Convert PDF documents into reflowable EPUB e-books that look great on Kindle, Kobo, iPad, and any reading app. The tool extracts text and page images from your PDF with PDF.js, detects chapter boundaries automatically, and packages everything into a standards-based EPUB file — all inside your browser.

E-Reader Ready

Produces a valid EPUB with a table of contents, metadata, and reflowable text that adapts to any screen size.

Text Extraction

Real text is pulled from the PDF and encoded as HTML, so you can resize fonts, search, and highlight like a native e-book.

Chapter Detection

Chapter headings are detected automatically and each becomes its own section with a clickable table of contents.

100% Private

The entire conversion runs locally with PDF.js and JSZip. Your document never leaves your device.

📋 Common Use Cases

Read on E-Readers

Send converted books and documents to Kindle, Kobo, or the Books app on your iPad for comfortable long-form reading.

Reflowable Text

EPUB text reflows to fit any screen and font size, making PDFs readable on small phones without constant zooming.

Edit & Republish

Convert PDF drafts and manuscripts into EPUB for editing in e-book tools or self-publishing on major stores.

Save Storage Space

EPUB files are typically far smaller than image-heavy PDFs, freeing space on your device and e-reader.
