Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about EPUB and PDF conversion

How do I convert EPUB to PDF?
Upload your EPUB file using the converter above, optionally adjust the page size (A4 or US Letter) and font size, then click 'Convert to PDF'. The tool extracts text and structure from your EPUB and generates a clean, readable PDF. Download it instantly — no signup required.
How do I convert PDF to EPUB?
Switch to the 'PDF → EPUB' tab, upload your PDF file, and click 'Convert to EPUB'. The tool extracts text content from your PDF and creates a valid EPUB 3.0 file with proper metadata, navigation, and chapter structure. Note: image-based PDFs (scanned documents) cannot be converted as they require OCR processing.
Is the converter really free?
Yes, completely free with no limits on conversions, no signup required, and no watermarks on the output. We offer this as a free resource for self-published authors. For professional-quality conversions with preserved formatting, images, and fonts, our paid book formatting service delivers pixel-perfect results.
What is the maximum file size?
The converter accepts files up to 20 MB. Most ebook EPUBs and text-based PDFs are well under this limit. If your file is larger (typically due to embedded images), consider compressing images before converting, or contact our formatting team for professional conversion of large files.
Will the conversion preserve my formatting?
The free converter preserves text content and basic structure (headings, paragraphs, bold, italic). Complex formatting like custom fonts, embedded images, tables, and precise layouts may not transfer perfectly. For manuscript submissions, proofreading, or sharing with beta readers, the output quality is excellent. For publication-ready files, our professional formatting service is recommended.
Is my file secure?
Your file is uploaded securely over HTTPS, processed on our servers, and immediately discarded after conversion. We do not store, read, or share your files. The converted output is returned directly to your browser for download.
What EPUB versions are supported?
The converter supports EPUB 2.0, 3.0, and 3.1 files. It reads the OPF manifest and spine to process chapters in the correct reading order. Both reflowable and fixed-layout EPUBs can be converted, though fixed-layout content may lose its precise positioning.
Can I convert DRM-protected files?
No. DRM-protected EPUBs and PDFs cannot be converted. If your file has DRM (Digital Rights Management), you'll need to use the original platform's reader app. Files purchased from Amazon Kindle, Apple Books, or Kobo typically have DRM. Files from KDP author copies, Smashwords, or DRM-free stores can be converted.
Why is my PDF showing no text after conversion to EPUB?
This usually means your PDF is image-based (scanned pages rather than digital text). The converter extracts text from the PDF's text layer — if there is no text layer, there's nothing to extract. You'd need OCR (Optical Character Recognition) software first, or our formatting team can handle the full conversion.
What's the difference between EPUB and PDF?
EPUB is a reflowable ebook format — text adapts to screen size, making it ideal for e-readers (Kindle, Kobo, Apple Books). PDF is a fixed-layout format — pages look identical on every device, making it ideal for print and sharing. Most self-published authors need both: EPUB for ebook distribution and PDF for print-on-demand (KDP, IngramSpark).

Why Authors Convert Between EPUB and PDF

Beta Reader Review

Convert your EPUB to PDF so beta readers can annotate and comment using standard PDF tools like Adobe Acrobat or Apple Preview — no e-reader app needed.

Print Proofing

Need a quick PDF proof of your ebook? Convert EPUB to PDF to check how your content will look on paper before sending to your professional formatter.

Multi-Format Publishing

Self-published authors need both formats: EPUB for Amazon Kindle, Apple Books, and Kobo, plus PDF for print-on-demand via KDP and IngramSpark.

Common Conversion Issues and Solutions

Images are missing from the converted PDF

This free converter focuses on text extraction. For image-heavy books (children's, cookbooks, photo books), professional formatting preserves all images at print resolution.

The PDF has no table of contents

The converter generates a title page and chapter content. For a clickable PDF table of contents with bookmarks, use professional formatting software like InDesign or our formatting service.

PDF to EPUB shows 'no text extracted'

Your PDF is likely image-based (scanned pages). The converter needs a text layer to extract content. Use OCR software first, or contact our team for full-service conversion.

Special characters or non-Latin text looks wrong

The converter uses standard Helvetica fonts which support Latin characters. For books in non-Latin scripts (Arabic, Chinese, Cyrillic), professional formatting with proper font embedding is required.
