Convert a PDF into an EPUB3 e-book that works with e-readers and reading apps (Apple Books, Kobo, calibre, Adobe Digital Editions, etc.).

Scanned PDFs with no recognized text (image only) have no text to extract — use "Make PDF searchable" first, or choose the "Image of each page" mode.

1

Upload your PDF

Choose the document (such as a book or report) you want to read on an e-reader.

2

The tool extracts and reorganizes the content

The text is restructured into a format that adapts to the screen size (reflow), instead of keeping the PDF's fixed page layout.

3

Download the .epub

Open the result in any EPUB-compatible e-reader or app (Kindle via conversion, Apple Books, Google Play Books, etc.).

Frequently asked questions

Does the EPUB keep the same fixed layout as the original PDF?

No, and that's the key difference: an EPUB uses reflowable text, which rearranges itself automatically to suit the reader's font size and screen — it doesn't keep the PDF's fixed page layout.

Does it work well with PDFs that have many columns or complex tables?

Documents with running text on simple pages convert best; PDFs with highly visual layouts (multiple columns, complex tables, magazines) may lose some of their original arrangement when reorganized into flowing text.

Are the PDF's images kept in the EPUB?

Yes, images are included in the EPUB file, placed near the text where they originally appeared.

Are my files uploaded to a server?

No. All processing happens inside your own browser — the file never leaves your computer or passes through any external server. You can confirm this by disconnecting from the internet once the page has loaded: the tool keeps working normally.

Do I need to create an account or pay anything?

No. PDFsy doesn't ask for sign-up, an account or payment — just open the page and use the tool.

Is PDFsy an alternative to iLovePDF?

Yes. PDFsy offers PDF tools equivalent to iLovePDF's — merge, convert, compress, protect and much more — available in 25 languages, with no usage limits, no need to create an account, and 100% local processing in your browser, without uploading any file to any server.
