EPUB to PDF Converter

Want to print an ebook, read it on a device without an EPUB app, or send it to someone as a PDF? Drop your EPUB file here and it is set as a proper PDF book: chapters start on a new page, pictures and the cover are kept, and the table of contents becomes clickable bookmarks. Choose US Letter or A4 for printing, A5 or 6 × 9 inch for reading on a tablet, and small, medium or large text. The text stays real text, so you can search it and copy from it. Everything happens in your browser, so your books never leave your device.

EPUB and PDF compared

What is kept in the PDF

Headings, paragraphs, italics and bold, lists, tables, quotations, pictures and the cover all come across, laid out much as the book's own styles ask. Each chapter starts on a new page, a heading is moved to the next page rather than left alone at the bottom, and footnote and cross-reference links jump to the right place. Audio, video and interactive parts of a book cannot go into a PDF and are left out.

Printing the PDF as a booklet

Choose A5 pages to print a book on A4 paper folded in half, or 6 × 9 inch pages for US Letter paper, then use the booklet setting in your printer's print window. Page numbers sit at the bottom centre, so they stay readable on both sides of the paper.

Questions

Can I convert books bought from an ebook store?

Usually not. Most ebook stores protect the books they sell so they only open in their own apps, and this converter does not remove that protection. Your own EPUB files, books from publishers who sell them without protection, and free public domain books convert fine.

Does the PDF look the same as in my ebook app?

It follows the book's own layout for headings, paragraphs, lists, tables and pictures, set in a clear book typeface on real pages. Special fonts the book brings with it are replaced, and decorative background colours are left out so the pages print well.

Can I search and copy the text in the PDF?

Yes. The text is real text, not pictures of pages, so you can search the PDF, select and copy passages, and have it read aloud.

Is the table of contents kept?

Yes. The book's contents become bookmarks in the PDF, so you can jump to any chapter from the sidebar of your PDF reader, and links inside the book, such as footnotes, still work.

Which page size should I choose?

US Letter or A4 if you will print on ordinary paper. A5 or 6 × 9 inch if you will read on a tablet or e-reader, where smaller pages mean less zooming. 6 × 9 inch is also a common paperback size.

Why is my book not converting?

The book may be copy protected, or it may be a fixed-layout book such as a comic, which is not supported yet. Books in scripts other than Latin, Greek and Cyrillic, such as Arabic, Hindi or Chinese, cannot be set yet either.

Are my books uploaded?

No. Your browser reads the book and makes the PDF on your own device, so nothing is sent to us or anyone else. The book typeface is loaded from this site the first time you use the converter.

Is it free?

Yes, completely free, with no sign-up, no watermark and no limit on the length of the book.
