PDF to EPUB

Reconstruct selected PDF text into semantic EPUB 3 chapters with a navigation document, package metadata, headings, paragraphs, lists, and confidently detected tables. Integrated local OCR can include scans, while the compatibility report calls out reflow and image limitations.

Fidelity mode: Semantic reflow creates searchable XHTML chapters and navigation. Fixed PDF page appearance, graphics, and uncertain reading order are not disguised as a clean ebook.

How it works

  1. 1Open a PDF and configure page selection, reading order, margin cleanup, and optional OCR.
  2. 2Choose how many source pages to group into each reflowable chapter.
  3. 3Semantic blocks become XHTML chapters with a generated EPUB navigation document.
  4. 4The EPUB package is validated for required files before local download.

Your privacy

This tool runs entirely inside your browser using JavaScript and Web Workers. Your document is never uploaded to any server — you can even disconnect from the internet and keep working once the page has loaded.

Frequently asked questions

Will each ebook page match the PDF page?

No. EPUB is intentionally reflowable, so pagination changes with reader size and typography. Source page grouping controls chapters, not fixed screens.

Does it include a table of contents?

Yes. A standards-based EPUB navigation document links every generated chapter.

What content may be missing?

Decorative vectors, embedded fonts, complex image placement, forms, and interactive PDF content are omitted and reported. Review converted equations and unusual reading orders.
