Does it work with DRM-protected books?

No. Books bought from stores that apply DRM (most Kindle and Apple Books titles) are encrypted, and Convertora doesn't — and won't — bypass that. DRM-free EPUBs, which include public-domain libraries and many self-published and technical books, convert fine.

Are the book's images and cover included?

No — the conversion extracts text only. Illustrations, the cover, and embedded fonts are not carried into the PDF. For image-heavy books (comics, children's books, photography), this tool isn't the right fit.

Is the chapter structure preserved?

Chapters appear in their correct reading order with their text intact, flowing continuously. The PDF doesn't get a clickable table of contents or bookmarks; if you want those, add them afterward with the PDF Bookmarks tool.

What does the output actually look like?

Plain, evenly spaced text in a fixed-width font on A4 pages — built for legibility and faithful content, not typographic beauty. Think 'clean manuscript', not 'typeset book'.

Why did my book fail with a character error?

The PDF fonts cover Latin-script text. Books in Cyrillic, Greek, CJK, or Arabic scripts can't currently be converted, and the tool says so explicitly instead of producing broken glyphs.

About EPUB to PDF

EPUB is built for reading on screens — it reflows to fit any display, which is exactly what makes it awkward to print, annotate page-by-page, or open on systems without an e-reader app. Converting to PDF pins the text to fixed pages that anyone can open, print, and mark up.

Convertora unpacks the EPUB in your browser (an EPUB is a zip of XHTML chapters plus a manifest), reads the book's spine to get the chapters in their correct order, and extracts the text of each chapter with paragraph breaks preserved. The combined text is then typeset onto A4 pages. This is a text-focused conversion: you get the full, readable content of the book, while images, fonts, and the publisher's styling are not carried over.

How to use it

1Upload a DRM-free .epub file (up to 50MB).
2The tool locates the book's manifest, reads the spine to establish chapter order, and parses each chapter's XHTML.
3Text is extracted block by block — paragraphs, headings, and list items each keep their line breaks — so the output reads as proper paragraphs, not a wall of text.
4The assembled text is rendered onto A4 pages and downloads as a PDF named after the EPUB.

Common use cases

Printing a DRM-free ebook, or part of one, for offline reading and margin notes.
Reading an EPUB on a device or system with a PDF viewer but no e-reader app.
Converting self-published or public-domain books (Project Gutenberg releases, for instance) into fixed-page form for study or citation.
Archiving ebook content in a format guaranteed to render identically in the future.

100% private — runs in your browser

Convertora processes everything on your device using JavaScript and WebAssembly. Files never leave your browser, are never uploaded to a server, and are never seen by us or anyone else. The moment you close the tab, the data is gone — there is no temporary cloud copy, no log entry, no retained backup.

Because the work happens locally, processing speed depends on your device — but there are no rate limits, no daily caps, and no file size restrictions beyond what your browser can handle in memory. No signup, no account, no payment. The tool works the same in incognito mode, on a corporate network, or after the page has loaded once, even with the network disconnected.
