Convert
EPUB to PDF Converter
Convert the text of an EPUB into a clean, paginated PDF. The tool follows the book's reading order, keeps chapter titles and paragraphs, and lays the text out at your chosen page size (A4, Letter or A5), font size and margins, with a title page, an optional table of contents and page numbers. It is a text conversion: images, tables and the book's own fonts and styles are not carried over, and books in scripts the built-in font cannot show, such as Cyrillic, Greek or Chinese, are not converted.

Common uses
- Convert an EPUB for printing on paper
- Share a book with someone who cannot open EPUB files
- Convert a class reading to PDF for students
- Create a PDF version of a self-published manuscript
Limitations
- Text only: images, tables, the book's own fonts and its CSS styling are not reproduced.
- The built-in PDF font covers Western European text only; a book mostly in another script is refused, and a few unsupported characters are listed.
- For a PDF that looks like the book, or for fixed-layout EPUBs, use a desktop tool such as Calibre.
- DRM-protected EPUBs cannot be converted.

Where this EPUB-to-PDF step fits
This tool turns a reflowable EPUB e-book into a fixed-page PDF you can print, annotate, or hand to someone who does not use an e-reader. It suits students and academics who need a paginated copy of a public-domain title or their own manuscript for offline reading and margin notes, and writers who want a quick proof of a draft EPUB laid out at a chosen page size. Admin and office users will find it handy when a workflow, an LMS, or a print shop accepts PDF but not EPUB.
Because the conversion is text-first, it suits prose in Western European languages, and it runs in your browser, so drafts and licensed content stay on your device.
It is not the right tool for visually rich titles where layout is the content: photo books, graphic novels, cookbooks with image-led recipes, or fixed-layout children's books. For those, a desktop tool such as Calibre will preserve far more of what you see on screen.
How the conversion runs and what it covers
Drop or select a single .epub file, then choose your settings: page size (A4, US Letter or A5), font size (10, 11, 12 or 14 pt), margins (narrow 12 mm, comfortable 18 mm or wide 25 mm), and whether to include a table of contents. The tool follows the book's reading order and pulls the text from each linear page, keeping paragraph breaks and dropping navigation, scripts and hidden elements. It then builds the PDF and offers it for download, named after your source file.
The output includes a title page with the book's title and author from the EPUB metadata, an optional contents page when the book has more than one chapter, chapter headings, flowing body paragraphs, and centered page numbers. Chapter titles come from the EPUB's own table of contents where available, falling back to the first heading in each chapter.
Be clear on what it does not do. This is a text conversion set in a single built-in font (Helvetica), so images, embedded fonts, CSS styling, columns and tables are not reproduced. The title page is typeset from the metadata, not the book's cover artwork. The built-in font covers Western European characters only: a book largely in another script is refused rather than turned into symbols, and when a few characters cannot be shown, the tool lists them. DRM-protected EPUBs are refused.
Limits and easy mistakes to avoid
The most common surprise is missing visuals. Diagrams, charts, equations rendered as images, and decorative drop caps simply will not appear, because only text is carried across. If your book leans on those, the PDF will read as incomplete even though no text was lost. Tables are also flattened into running text rather than preserved as grids, which can scramble tabular data.
Structure depends on the source. The tool relies on a clean reading order and a real table of contents; books with one giant content file will produce few chapter breaks, and unusual EPUBs may yield odd chapter titles taken from the first heading found. Very large books take longer and use more memory, since everything is processed in your browser. Fixed-layout EPUBs convert poorly because their design does not survive a text reflow.
Emoji and some symbols fall outside the built-in font and are listed; a page with almost no readable text is skipped, so a mostly-image book returns little.
Checking the PDF before you rely on it
Open the finished PDF and read it end to end at a glance. Confirm the chapter order matches the book, that headings landed where you expect, and that the table of contents (if enabled) lists the chapters you intended. Scan for places where an image, table, or equation used to be, and make sure the surrounding text still makes sense without it. Check the title page shows the correct title and author, since those come from metadata that is not always accurate.
Then verify the layout choices: page size, margins, and font size should look right for your purpose, especially if you plan to print, where you should run a test page first. If the tool listed unsupported characters, find them in the PDF, and check the last few pages so you know nothing was truncated.
For official or academic use, have a person compare the PDF with the original EPUB before it is submitted; missing images and tables can change meaning.
Frequently asked questions
EPUB is reflowable; this tool re-flows the text onto fixed pages at the size you choose, in a single built-in font (Helvetica). The book's own fonts, styles and images are not used, so the PDF is a clean reading copy rather than a replica.
No. This tool converts text content only; image embedding in the PDF is not supported. Use a desktop tool such as Calibre for a conversion that keeps images.
The PDF uses Helvetica, a built-in font that covers Western European characters only. If a book is largely in another script, such as Cyrillic, Greek, Chinese, Arabic or Devanagari, the text would come out as symbols, so no PDF is made. When only a few characters are affected, the PDF is made and those characters are listed.
No. DRM-protected files cannot be read or converted. This tool only works with files you own or have permission to process.
