Convert PDF to EPUB
A PDF is a fixed page, so on a phone or e-reader you end up zooming and scrolling sideways. An EPUB reflows to fit the screen and lets you choose the text size. This tool rebuilds a PDF's text as an ebook. Its headings become chapters and a table of contents, and its paragraphs, lists and tables carry across, ready for Apple Books, Kobo, Google Play Books or Kindle.

Worth knowing
An EPUB carries the text and structure, not the pictures or the exact look of the PDF. Use PDF to Word if you need the images. Chapters come from the headings, which are inferred from how the page looks, so a heavily designed layout may need some tidying.
Why convert PDF to EPUB?
- Reading a long PDF report or paper comfortably on an e-reader
