Typeset an eBook as a PDF with the cover, a generated table of contents, chapter page breaks and images intact. EPUB, plain text and HTML books are all handled, and the reading experience of a reflowing screen is turned into fixed pages that print and annotate like a real book. Choose the paper size, margins and type size, and whether the table of contents is generated from the chapter headings. Nothing is uploaded, no account is needed, and no watermark is added.
Convert EPUB, TXT & HTML eBooks to beautifully typeset PDFs free — cover, TOC, chapter breaks, images preserved. No upload, no watermark. Works offline.
Choose the paper size first, then the type size, then let the leading follow. A book typeset for A4 and read on a phone-sized page ends up with four words per line, which is unreadable. For a PDF, choose the size you will actually read at, which is usually larger than a print book.
Fixed pages, a generated table of contents, an outline for navigation, and a stable file that renders the same in ten years. That combination is why the PDF is the right archive format even though EPUB is the better reading format. Keep the EPUB; add the PDF for permanence.
A converted eBook sometimes brings along page numbers from the print edition, which no longer correspond to anything. Disable the original pagination, generate a fresh table of contents from the chapter headings, and the document becomes internally consistent.
Almost always remote images referenced by URL in the EPUB, which need the network to fetch. Download the images alongside the EPUB, or check whether the edition you have is a text-only one. Some store editions deliberately omit images from the EPUB and reserve them for the in-app reader.
The cover image becomes the first page, and a table of contents is generated from the chapter headings with real page numbers. The result is a navigable document with an outline, so a reader can jump to a chapter rather than scrolling.
Yes. Each chapter starts on a new page, which is what makes a converted book look like a book. Set the start to a right-hand page if you are printing double-sided and want each chapter to open on a recto.
Extracted from the eBook and placed inline at the right size, scaled to fit the text column so nothing overflows. An image wider than the page is scaled rather than cropped, so nothing important is lost.
No. DRM is a licensing mechanism enforced by the software reading the file, and no tool on this site will circumvent it. Buy the DRM-free edition from the publisher, which is usually available in EPUB from the same seller, and convert that.
Good, and better than printing a reflowing reader. Fixed pages, a real TOC, an outline and selectable text. What you cannot have is a screen reader's reflow, so a PDF is a worse format than EPUB for accessible reading on a small screen. Convert for print and archiving, not as a replacement for the original format.
Yes. Plain text is reflowed into the chosen page size with a type size and leading that make it readable rather than eighty monospaced characters wide. There is no structure to detect, so chapter breaks are inferred or left as flowing text.
Widow and orphan control with a page size and type size that do not quite fit the content. Increasing the type size slightly or adjusting the margins usually resolves it, and a chapter that starts on a new page with a single line above is the same problem with a different cause.
Yes. Free, no account, no watermark, and no upload. A book you bought converts on your own machine, which is why an ebook you paid for never needs to be sent anywhere to be turned into a PDF.
