Why this runs on your computer

There is no upload: The work happens in this tab. Your file never travels, so there is no copy of it anywhere but your own disk.
Nothing to delete later: Sites that upload promise to delete your file afterwards. That promise only matters because the file was theirs to hold.
It works with the Wi-Fi off: The honest test. Turn off your connection and the tools keep working, because everything they need is already here.

EPUB to TXT: the plain text of an ebook

Pull the plain text out of an EPUB, chapter by chapter - here in this tab, with nothing uploaded.

How to convert epub to txt

Drop your EPUB.
Choose whether to keep chapter titles and blank lines between paragraphs.
Copy the text or save it as a .txt file.

Why this one stays private

Text is what you need for notes, a word count or a screen reader. It is extracted here in the tab and the book stays on your computer.

Questions

In what order does the text come out?

In reading order - the book's spine - with each chapter's title above it if you like.

Are images or formatting kept?

No: a .txt file is plain text only. For formatting, use EPUB to Word.

Does it work with books bought from Kindle, Kobo or Apple?

Only if they have no DRM. Copy-protected books are encrypted, and removing that is not something this site does. Books from Project Gutenberg, Standard Ebooks, Humble Bundle and most indie stores are DRM-free.
