eBook converter
Turn an EPUB into text, HTML or Markdown, or make an EPUB from text, Markdown or HTML.
Runs in your browser. Your file is never uploaded.
Convert EPUB to text, HTML or Markdown, and make EPUBs
eBook Converter works in both directions. Turn an EPUB into a plain text, HTML or Markdown file to read anywhere, search, quote or paste into notes. Or make a proper EPUB from your own text, Markdown or HTML, with a title, author and chapters, ready for Apple Books, Google Play Books, Kobo or Send to Kindle.
Chapters and headings are kept in order. It runs in your browser, and DRM-protected books can't be converted.
eBook converter in short
Choose an EPUB, or a TXT, Markdown or HTML file, then pick the format you want and, for a new EPUB, its title and author, then select Convert and download. It's free, there's no sign-up, and it runs in your browser, so the file never leaves your device.
