Why Convert PDF to EPUB?
PDF files are designed for printing, not for reading on e-readers. Converting to EPUB offers significant advantages:
Reflowable Text
EPUB text automatically adjusts to your screen size - no more zooming and panning on small devices.
Adjustable Fonts
Change font size, style, and line spacing to match your reading preferences.
Better Battery Life
E-ink displays render EPUB more efficiently than PDF, extending your reading time.
Navigation
EPUB supports proper chapter navigation and bookmarks for easier reading.

Tips for Best Conversion Results
- Text-based PDFs work best: PDFs with selectable text convert more accurately than scanned documents.
- For scanned PDFs: Use our OCR tool first to extract text before conversion.
- Simple layouts convert better: Complex multi-column layouts may need manual cleanup.
- Check the table of contents: Our converter attempts to preserve chapter structure automatically.
- Image-heavy PDFs: May result in larger EPUB files. Consider compressing images first.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I convert scanned PDF books?
Yes, but you'll need OCR (Optical Character Recognition) first. Our OCR tool can extract text from scanned pages before conversion.
Will images be preserved?
Yes, images are extracted and embedded in the EPUB. Very large images may be resized for optimal e-reader display.
What about complex formatting like tables?
Simple tables are converted. Complex tables may be converted to images to preserve layout. For best results, check the output and adjust if needed.
Can I read the converted EPUB on Kindle?
Newer Kindles support EPUB directly. For older Kindles, use our EPUB to MOBI converter.
