Use Cases

• Convert public-domain ebooks from Project Gutenberg to PDFs
• Print your EPUB library for offline reading
• Send an ebook sample to a reviewer who prefers PDFs
• Archive EPUB purchases in a format that never goes out of print

Tips

• Upload any non-DRM EPUB file — chapters are read in spine order
• The ebook title (from OPF metadata) is used as the PDF title page
• Embedded fonts and complex layouts are flattened to readable text

Fun Facts

• An EPUB file is a ZIP archive containing XHTML chapters, an OPF manifest, and optional NCX/NAV navigation files.
• EPUB 3 introduced support for embedded video, audio, and JavaScript — though most reading apps disable scripts for security.
• The EPUB format was published as a free IDPF standard in 2007; it now powers Apple Books, Kobo, Nook, and Google Play Books.

FAQ

EPUB 2 or EPUB 3?

Both — the converter auto-detects the version. EPUB 3's multimedia (audio, video) is stripped; images and HTML content convert.

Will chapter structure be preserved?

Yes — EPUB's spine order becomes the PDF's page order. Each chapter starts on a new page by default.

What about DRM?

This tool handles only DRM-free EPUBs. For DRM-protected (Kindle, Google Play Books), remove DRM first (legally, for your own books).

Can I choose page size?

A4, Letter, or EPUB's original dimensions (reflowable text becomes pagination-dependent).
