About the PDF to EPUB tool
EPUB text reflows to fit any screen, so PDF to EPUB is what you want before reading a long document on a Kindle, Kobo or phone. Chapters and images are carried across.
Convert a PDF into a reflowable EPUB so it displays comfortably on e-readers, tablets, and phones instead of forcing a fixed page layout. Text reflows to fit the screen, making long documents much easier to read on smaller devices.
How to convert PDF to EPUB
- 1Upload the PDF you want to turn into an e-book.
- 2Wait while the text and structure are converted into reflowable EPUB format.
- 3Download the EPUB file and open it in your favorite e-reader app.
Why convert a PDF to EPUB
PDFs use a fixed page layout designed for print or full-screen viewing, which often means awkward zooming and panning on a phone or e-reader screen. EPUB is a reflowable format, so paragraphs adjust automatically to whatever screen size and font settings the reader chooses, making long-form content like books, reports, or manuals far more comfortable to read on the go.
Conversion works best on text-based PDFs with a clear structure such as chapters and headings; PDFs with complex multi-column layouts or heavy graphic design may not reflow as cleanly, since EPUB prioritizes readable text over exact visual replication.
Uploads are transferred over an encrypted connection, no account is required, and both the source PDF and generated EPUB are deleted automatically from our servers after conversion. EPUB files are typically much smaller than the source PDF since they store text and structure rather than fixed-page images.

Frequently asked questions
Will the EPUB look exactly like my original PDF?+
No, EPUB is designed to reflow text to fit the reader's screen and font size, so the exact page layout of the PDF will not be preserved, though the text content and structure will carry over.
Does PDF to EPUB conversion work well on scanned books?+
Scanned pages are images, so they need optical character recognition to extract readable, reflowable text; without it, the EPUB may just embed page images similarly to the original PDF.
Will chapter headings and a table of contents be preserved?+
If your PDF has clear heading styles, the converter will generally use them to build chapter breaks and a navigable table of contents in the EPUB.
Can I open the EPUB on any e-reader?+
Yes, EPUB is a widely supported standard readable by most dedicated e-readers, tablets, and phone reading apps, with the notable exception of devices that require a different proprietary format.
What happens to images and diagrams in the PDF?+
Images are generally embedded into the EPUB alongside the surrounding text, though very complex diagrams may lose some of their original positioning as the layout reflows.
Is my PDF stored after the EPUB is generated?+
No, the uploaded PDF and resulting EPUB file are removed automatically from our servers after processing, and the transfer is encrypted throughout.
