Free PDF to EPUB
Turn a PDF's text into a reflowable EPUB e-book that flows to fit any screen and font size. Read it on Apple Books, Kobo, Google Play Books and most e-readers. It runs in your browser, so your PDF is never uploaded. Free, no sign-up.
Drag and drop your PDF here
One file or several. Everything stays on your device.
Your PDF is read on your own device, never uploaded. This turns the text into a reflowable EPUB that flows to any screen size. It is text-focused, so complex layouts are simplified, and scanned PDFs have no text to convert.
Convert in four steps.
Add your file, and download the result. There is no queue and no upload, because the work happens right on your device.
Add your PDF
Drag the file in or browse from your device. Everything runs in your browser, so the PDF stays on your own computer or phone.
It reads the text
The tool pulls the words out of the PDF and rebuilds them into chapters and paragraphs, keeping headings where it can.
It builds the e-book
The text is packed into a standard .epub file, the format that reading apps and e-readers understand.
Download and read
Save the .epub and open it in Apple Books, Kobo, Google Play Books or your e-reader. No sign-up, no watermark.
An e-book from your PDF.
Reflowable text
Unlike a fixed PDF, the text reflows to any screen, so it stays readable on a phone.
Chapters and headings
Paragraphs and headings are kept where they can be detected in the PDF.
Text-focused
Complex layouts are simplified, and scanned PDFs have no text to convert.
Stays on your device
Your PDF is read in the browser, so nothing is uploaded or stored.
Put it to work.
Read long reports comfortably
A dense PDF report is hard work on a phone. Turn it into an e-book so the text reflows to your screen and font size.
Take articles on an e-reader
Move a saved article or white paper onto a Kobo or another e-reader and read it with your usual page and font settings.
Proofread a manuscript
Read your own draft the way a reader will, on an e-reader, so typos and clumsy sentences stand out more than on screen.
Study without the zoom and pan
Course notes and text-based textbooks become far easier to read when the words flow instead of sitting on fixed pages.
Bump up the text size
If a PDF is set in tiny type, an e-book lets you make the words as large as you like without losing your place.
Build a tidy library
Keep e-books, articles and reports in one format across your reading apps, so everything sits together and syncs.
Producing e-books at scale?
Converting one book is quick. Building a pipeline that turns manuscripts and reports into clean, well-tagged e-books, and wiring that into your publishing or content workflow, is a different job. That is the kind of software we build at Techliphant, shaped around how you actually work.
Common questions.
It is a free online tool that turns the text of a PDF into an EPUB e-book. EPUB is the standard e-book format that reading apps and e-readers use, the same kind of file you buy from most e-book shops. Unlike a PDF, an EPUB flows its text to fit any screen.
A PDF page is fixed, so on a phone you end up zooming in and dragging around to read a line. A reflowable e-book has no fixed page. The text rearranges itself to fit your screen and your chosen font size, so you just read and turn the page. That is the main reason to convert a text-heavy PDF for a small screen.
Yes. There is no account, no email and no watermark. The e-book you download is a clean, standard file you can read or share as you wish.
No. The whole conversion happens inside your browser, on your own device. The PDF is never sent anywhere and the finished e-book is built on your machine, which keeps private documents and manuscripts to yourself.
Most of them. Apple Books, Kobo and Google Play Books all read EPUB, as do most other e-readers and reading apps. Once you have the .epub file, open it or send it to your device the way you normally add books.
Newer Kindle apps and devices accept EPUB, so you can send the file across and read it. Older Kindles may not open an EPUB directly and can need a converted copy first. If you are on a recent Kindle, the EPUB should be fine.
No. The tool does not read text from pictures, so a scanned or photographed PDF, where the pages are really images, will not produce readable words. It works with a text-based PDF, the kind where you can already select and copy the text. If you are not sure, try selecting some text in the PDF first.
No, and that is on purpose. This is a text-focused tool, not a page-for-page copier. It keeps your paragraphs and headings where it can, but complex layouts, columns, tables and exact positioning are simplified so the text can flow. It suits e-books, articles, reports and manuscripts, not design-heavy files where the layout is the point.
A text-based PDF such as an e-book, an article, a report or a manuscript. Those are mostly running text, which is exactly what an e-book handles well. Files that are mainly charts, forms or fixed layouts will not carry across as neatly.
The tool sets no fixed limit. Because everything runs in your browser, the real limit is your device memory. A very long PDF can be slow on an older phone, so give it a moment, and split a huge document if it starts to lag.
There is nothing to install. It runs in any modern browser on a phone, tablet or computer, so you can make an e-book on your mobile and open it straight away in your reading app.
Private by design: this converter runs entirely in your browser. Your PDF is read and its text is turned into an EPUB on your own device, so nothing is uploaded or stored anywhere. That makes it safe for manuscripts and private documents. It is text-focused, so complex layouts are simplified, and a scanned PDF, which is really an image of the page, has no text to convert.
