How to convert EPUB to PDF
The whole process takes under a minute for most books, on a computer or a phone.
Choose your EPUB
Drag the file into the box above, or tap it to pick a book from your computer, Files app or Downloads folder.
Choose your layout
Pick A4 or Letter for printing, A5 or 6×9 for a book-like feel, then set a font size that is comfortable to read.
Download the PDF
Press Convert to PDF, wait a few seconds, and download a PDF that opens on any device, prints cleanly, and keeps its layout.
Converting on different devices
Here is what each kind of device can do with EPUB files on its own, and where the converter above helps.
On a Windows PC
Windows has no built-in EPUB reader since Microsoft Edge dropped EPUB support, so there is no native way to save an EPUB as PDF. The converter above works in any Windows browser, including Edge and Chrome. Our guide shows other ways to open EPUB on Windows.
On a Mac
Apple Books opens EPUB files but does not export them as PDF. For a proper PDF with clean page breaks, use the converter above in Safari or Chrome.
On a phone or tablet
Open this page in Safari or Chrome, tap the upload box, choose the EPUB from Files or Downloads, and save the finished PDF. No app install needed.
EPUB vs PDF: which should you use?
EPUB is built for reading on screens of any size. PDF is built to look exactly the same everywhere. Here is how they compare.
| Feature | EPUB | |
|---|---|---|
| Layout | Reflowable: text adapts to the screen | Fixed: every page looks the same |
| Best for | E-readers, phones, reading apps | Printing, sharing, laptops, tablets |
| Opens on | Needs an ebook reader app | Every device and browser |
| Font size | Reader can change it anytime | Set once when the PDF is made |
| Printing | Awkward or unsupported | Clean, page-accurate printing |
| Annotations | Depends on the reader app | Supported by almost every PDF app |
Converting to PDF makes sense when you want to print a book, send it to someone without an ebook app, or read it on a device that handles PDFs better. Keep the EPUB if you mainly read on an e-reader. Note that current Kindle devices accept EPUB through Send to Kindle, so you may not need to convert at all for Kindle. See how to read EPUB on Kindle.

Frequently asked questions
Is this EPUB to PDF converter free?
Yes. Converting EPUB to PDF is free, with no signup and no watermark on the PDF.
Will images and chapters be kept?
Yes. Chapters, headings, images, bold and italics carry over, and each chapter becomes a bookmark in the PDF. Clickable links are not kept.
Can I convert DRM-protected EPUB books?
No. The converter only works with DRM-free EPUB files, such as books you wrote, public-domain titles, or files sold without DRM.
Does it work on iPhone and Android?
Yes. Open the site in Safari or Chrome, tap the upload box, choose the EPUB from Files or Downloads, and save the PDF when it is ready.
What happens to my file after conversion?
Nothing leaves your device. The conversion runs inside your web browser, so your book is never uploaded to a server.
Is there a file size limit?
Free conversions accept EPUB files up to 50 MB, which covers almost every ebook, including illustrated ones.
Ready to convert your ebook?
Free, fast and private: your book never leaves your device.
