Large files can be slow on phones, and very large ones may not open there at all. A computer handles them best.
// How it works
Three steps, all in your browser
Read the text
The PDF is opened in your browser and its text is read page by page, in reading order.
Rebuild the book
Broken lines are joined back into paragraphs, running headers and page numbers are dropped, and chapters are found from "Chapter 1" lines or larger headings.
Check and save
Rename, join or delete chapters, add a title, author and cover, and download an EPUB 3 file with a table of contents.
Good to know
- Only PDFs with real text work. A scanned PDF is pictures of pages; it needs OCR first, which this tool does not do.
- Two-column layouts, sidebars and text boxes may come out in the wrong order.
- Footnotes end up inline where they sit on the page. Tables come out as plain lines.
- Pictures are left out in this version: the EPUB holds the text.
- Password-protected PDFs are refused. Large PDFs can fail on phones, which have less memory.
// FAQ
Questions
Is this PDF to EPUB converter free?
Yes. It is free to use, with no account, no page limit and no watermark.
Is my PDF uploaded?
No. Your browser reads the PDF and writes the EPUB on your device. The file is not sent to our server or anywhere else.
Why are some lines joined wrongly?
A PDF stores where each line sits on the page, not where paragraphs start. The tool guesses from line spacing, indents and sentence ends, which works well on plain books and less well on complex layouts. Check the chapter list before you download.
Can it convert a scanned PDF?
No. A scanned PDF has no text inside, only pictures of pages. The tool tells you when that is the case. Run OCR first, then convert the text.
Can I convert PDF to EPUB without losing formatting?
The text, paragraphs and chapters are kept. The page layout is not: the tool makes a reflowable EPUB, which fits the text to each screen, so fixed pages, columns and exact positions go away. Pictures are left out in this version. If your PDF is mostly pictures, tables or a designed layout, keep it as a PDF.
Does the EPUB work on Kindle?
Yes. Send to Kindle accepts EPUB files. Apple Books, Kobo and most reader apps open EPUB directly.
