Question 1

How do I convert a PDF to EPUB?

Accepted Answer

Upload the PDF, check the title and author fields, and click convert. The tool reads the text layer of the PDF page by page, detects chapters from large heading text, and packages everything as a standard EPUB 3 file with a table of contents. Download it and open it in any reader app, or send it to your e-reader. The conversion runs in your browser, so the file is never uploaded.

Question 2

Why does the EPUB not look like the PDF pages?

Accepted Answer

That difference is the point of EPUB. A PDF fixes every line to an exact position on a fixed page; an EPUB stores the text in reading order and lets the reader choose font, size and margins, reflowing the text to fit any screen. Multi-column magazine layouts, sidebars and tightly designed pages cannot survive that change unchanged. What does carry over is the complete text, its heading structure and the chapter breaks, which is what comfortable reading on a phone or e-reader actually needs.

Question 3

Can I convert a scanned PDF to EPUB?

Accepted Answer

Only if the scan has a text layer. Many scanned PDFs are just photographs of pages with no readable text inside; this converter will report that it found no text. Run such a file through an OCR tool first to add a text layer, then convert the result. Born-digital PDFs, created from Word, InDesign, LaTeX or a browser, convert best because their text and headings are real data.

Question 4

Are images and tables included in the EPUB?

Accepted Answer

This converter focuses on the text of the document: paragraphs, headings and chapters. Images embedded in the PDF and complex tables are not carried into the EPUB in this version. For text-driven PDFs such as reports, manuals, theses, articles and most eBooks, that produces a clean and comfortable reading file. If your document is mainly images or designed layouts, the PDF format itself is usually the better reading format.

Question 5

How are chapters created?

Accepted Answer

The converter analyses font sizes across the document. Lines set in the largest sizes are treated as chapter headings and each one starts a new chapter in the EPUB, with the heading as its title in the table of contents. The next size down becomes section headings inside the chapter. If a PDF has no size contrast at all, the book is split into even sections so the contents list still helps you navigate.

Question 6

Can I read the EPUB on a Kindle?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Amazon's Send to Kindle service accepts EPUB files and converts them for your Kindle library automatically. You can also open the file directly in Apple Books, Google Play Books, Kobo and most reader apps on phones and tablets, where the adjustable text will be far easier to read than the fixed PDF pages were.
