eBook conversion tool
PDF to EPUB Converter
Extract the selectable text from a PDF and package it as a simple reflowable EPUB locally, with editable title, author and language metadata.
How it works
A useful result,
without the upload.
Extract the selectable text from a PDF and package it as a simple reflowable EPUB locally, with editable title, author and language metadata. The file is decoded and processed inside this browser tab, so File Preflight never receives its contents.
Worked example
Convert a 120-page text manuscript PDF into a reflowable EPUB for comfortable e-reader proofing.
Before you send the file
- Scanned PDFs need OCR first because page images do not contain a selectable text layer.
- Multi-column layouts, tables, footnotes and repeated headers may need cleanup after text extraction.
- The generated EPUB is a simple reading copy, not a guaranteed commercial publishing master.
Frequently asked questions
Can it convert a scanned PDF to EPUB?
Not directly. A scan contains images and needs optical character recognition before the text can be made reflowable.
Will the EPUB keep the exact PDF layout?
No. That would defeat reflow. The EPUB keeps extracted reading text while allowing an e-reader to change font size, margins and line length.
Is the generated EPUB valid?
It uses an EPUB 3 container, package document, navigation document and XHTML chapter. You should still inspect it on the devices and apps you plan to use.
Keep an untouched original and inspect the downloaded file before replacing any production asset. Closing this tab removes the selected files from the tool.
