PDF to EPUB

Key Features

Fixed Layout or Reflowable

Fixed layout renders each PDF page as an image, so the book looks exactly like the original. Reflowable extracts the text into XHTML so it adapts to any screen size.

Reflowable Text Mode

For text-heavy documents, extract the text into a reflowable EPUB that readers can resize and reflow on phones, e-readers and tablets.

Title, Author & Language

Set the book metadata — title, author and language code (such as en or zh-CN) — so the EPUB is correctly labeled in any reader.

Optional Cover Image

Add a cover picture to make the EPUB look complete on a bookshelf or in a reader library.

Page Range Selection

Convert every page or only the pages you need. Enter a range such as 1-3,5 to skip the rest of the document.

Private & Local

Everything runs in your browser using PDF.js. The PDF never leaves your device, so it suits personal, confidential or internal documents.

How to Use

Add a PDF

Drag and drop or select the PDF you want to convert. One PDF is processed per run, and its pages are loaded locally in your browser.

Choose a Mode and Options

Pick fixed layout or reflowable text. For fixed layout, set the resolution (DPI). Add a book title, author and optional cover, then enter an optional page range such as 1-3,5.

Convert and Download

Build the EPUB locally, preview the file details, then download a single .epub. No signup and no watermark.

How to Convert PDF to EPUB

Why Convert PDF to EPUB

EPUB is the open e-book standard used by almost every reader and e-reader. Unlike a PDF, which is locked to a fixed page size, an EPUB can reflow its text to fit any screen — phone, tablet, e-reader or desktop. Converting a PDF to EPUB makes long documents far more comfortable to read on small screens.

Choose the Right Mode

Fixed layout: Each PDF page is rendered as an image and placed in the EPUB. The result looks exactly like the source PDF, which is perfect for magazines, comics, presentations, scanned documents and design-heavy files. The trade-off is larger files and no text reflow.
Reflowable: The text of each page is extracted into XHTML so the book adapts to the reader's screen and font size. This is ideal for novels, reports and text-heavy documents, but complex layouts, tables, multi-column sections and footnotes may not keep their original appearance.

Set Good Metadata

Add a clear book title and author, and set the language code (for example en or zh-CN). This metadata helps readers organize their library and lets screen readers and dictionaries work correctly.

Choose the Right DPI (Fixed Layout)

DPI controls how sharp each page image is. Around 150 DPI is enough for most screens and e-readers; 300 DPI gives crisper pages at the cost of larger files and slower processing. A lower DPI produces smaller EPUBs that load faster.

Convert Only What You Need

Use a page range such as 1-3,5,8-10 to export selected pages instead of the whole document. This saves time and storage when you only need a chapter or a few pages.

Limitations

This tool does not perform OCR, so text extraction from scanned images is not possible — scanned PDFs should use fixed layout. Reflowable output keeps the reading order and text but may not preserve precise visual layout. The EPUB is a standard file you can open in any EPUB reader; for Kindle, use Amazon's Send to Kindle service.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is my PDF uploaded?

No. The conversion runs entirely in your browser using PDF.js. Your PDF never leaves your device and is not sent to any server.

What is the difference between fixed layout and reflowable?

Fixed layout renders each PDF page as an image, so it looks exactly like the original — ideal for magazines, comics, scanned documents and design-heavy PDFs. Reflowable extracts the text into XHTML so the content adapts to the reader's screen and font size, which is better for novels and text-heavy reports.

Will the reflowable EPUB keep my original layout?

Not exactly. Reflowable mode extracts text per page and re-flows it, so complex layouts, tables, multi-column sections, footnotes and precise positioning may not match the original. For pixel-perfect results, use fixed layout mode.

Can I convert only selected pages?

Yes. Use a page range such as 1-3,5 to convert only the pages you need, which is useful for exporting a specific chapter or a few pages.

What DPI should I choose for fixed layout?

Use around 150 DPI for screen reading and e-readers, or 300 DPI if you want sharper pages for print-quality viewing. Higher DPI means larger files and longer processing.

Where can I open the EPUB?

Any EPUB reader or e-reader app supports the file, including Apple Books, Google Play Books, Calibre, and most e-ink readers. For Kindle, send the EPUB through Amazon's Send to Kindle service.

Does this work on scanned PDFs?

For scanned PDFs (images of pages) the text is not selectable, so only fixed layout is meaningful — each page becomes an image. To get searchable reflowable text from a scan, you would first need OCR, which this tool does not perform.
