PDF to EPUB: make a PDF readable on an e-reader

Turn a PDF into a reflowable EPUB with chapters, for an e-reader or phone - here in this tab, with nothing uploaded.

How to convert pdf to epub

  1. Drop your PDF.
  2. Check the title and author, and how chapters are split.
  3. Save the EPUB and send it to your e-reader.

Why this one stays private

PDFs people turn into ebooks are papers, manuals and manuscripts - often unpublished or private. The text is pulled out and rebuilt as an EPUB in your browser; the PDF goes nowhere.

Questions

Will it look like the PDF?

No - and that is the point. A PDF has fixed pages; an EPUB reflows to fit any screen and text size. Headings, paragraphs and chapters are kept; the page layout is not.

What about images and tables?

This version brings the text across, with headings worked out from the type size. Images and complex tables are left out, so it works best for books and documents that are mostly text.

Why is my EPUB empty?

The PDF is probably a scan: pictures of pages, with no text inside. That needs OCR, which this tool does not do.

Is my book uploaded?

No. The file is opened by your browser, in this tab, and the new file is made here too. Nothing is sent to a server, so there is no copy of your book anywhere else.
