EPUB is a reflowable ebook format — text rewraps to fit whatever screen it lands on. PDF is the opposite: a fixed page that looks identical everywhere and prints exactly as shown. Converting EPUB to PDF freezes the book onto a chosen page size (A4 by default), which is ideal for printing, annotating, or sharing a file anyone can open without an e-reader app. The trade-off: text no longer reflows, so a fixed PDF reads less comfortably on a small phone than the original EPUB did.
How to Convert EPUB to PDF
- Upload Your EPUB File: Drag and drop your
.epubonto the page or click "+ Add Files" to pick it from your computer. You can queue several books at once. - Choose a Compression Type: Pick a preset under Advanced Options — "Screen (Best)" keeps images sharp for on-screen reading, while "Ebook" and "Printer" trade some image detail for a smaller file or print-tuned output.
- Review the Output: The book is laid out onto A4 portrait pages; leave the default unless you need a different size for printing.
- Convert and Download: Click "Convert" and save your PDF. No sign-up, no watermark.
Compression Type presets — which to choose

| Screen (Best) | Highest image quality, larger file | Reading on a monitor or tablet, image-heavy books |
| Ebook | Moderate image downsampling | A balanced, email-friendly file size |
| Printer | Tuned for paper output | Printing at home or at a copy shop |
| Prepress | Preserves color fidelity for print production | Sending to a professional print service |
| Default | Standard balance of size and quality | A general-purpose PDF when unsure |
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does my PDF lose the reflowable layout my EPUB had?
EPUB is built for dynamic layout — the W3C EPUB 3 specification describes content as "intended to be formatted on the fly rather than being typeset in a paginated manner in advance." PDF (ISO 32000) is a fixed-page format, so the conversion has to "freeze" the flowing text onto set pages. That is exactly why a PDF prints and shares predictably, but it also means the text can no longer rewrap to a smaller screen.
Will the converter keep my chapters, headings, and images?
Text content and the basic structure — headings, paragraphs, bold and italic, and embedded images — carry over. In our testing, a plain-prose EPUB converted cleanly into flowing A4 pages with chapter headings intact. Highly designed EPUBs (comics, magazines, fixed-layout children's books with precise positioning) are the ones most likely to shift, because their pixel-exact placement does not always survive the move to a standard page size.
What page size will my PDF use?
By default the book is laid out on A4 portrait pages, which suits most reading and printing. Desktop tools such as Calibre default to U.S. Letter instead — if you are printing in North America, Letter may waste less paper, so check the paper your printer is loaded with before a long print run.
How do I make the resulting PDF smaller for email?
Choose the "Ebook" compression preset, which downsamples images to a lighter size. If the PDF is still too large for an attachment limit — Gmail caps attachments at 25 MB — run the file through our PDF compressor afterward to squeeze it further without re-converting.
Is my uploaded book kept private?
Yes. Your EPUB is uploaded over an encrypted connection, converted on our servers, and deleted automatically after a few hours. There is no sign-up, no watermark, and files are never shared or made public. Need the reverse direction?
