EPUB to PDF
Convert EPUB ebooks to PDF, preserving original fonts, images, and layout.
What is EPUB to PDF?
EPUB is the most widely supported ebook format, designed for reflowable content that adapts to different screen sizes and font settings. However, EPUB files cannot be easily printed or shared as fixed-layout documents. Converting an EPUB to PDF creates a paginated document with consistent layout across all devices. Our tool unzips the EPUB archive using JSZip, reads the OPF manifest to determine the correct reading order from the spine, then renders each chapter's original XHTML and CSS exactly as authored — preserving the EPUB's original fonts, images, and layout. Each chapter is rendered in an isolated iframe with all CSS inlined and all images and fonts embedded as data URLs, then converted directly to PDF pages using html2pdf.js. This approach faithfully preserves standard formatting (fonts, headings, images, paragraph styling) rather than re-extracting and rebuilding the content. Very complex EPUBs with custom JavaScript or non-standard styling may still have minor rendering differences.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the conversion preserve the original styling?⌄
Yes. Unlike simple text-extraction tools, this tool renders each chapter's original XHTML and CSS in an isolated iframe with all stylesheets, fonts, and images inlined as data URLs. This preserves the EPUB's fonts, headings, paragraph styling, and images as closely as possible. Very complex EPUBs with custom JavaScript or non-standard styling may have minor rendering differences.
Are images preserved in the conversion?⌄
Yes. All images referenced in the EPUB are embedded as data URLs directly in the rendered HTML before conversion. This includes inline images in chapter content and background images referenced in CSS. The images appear in the PDF at their original positions and sizes.
What types of EPUBs work best?⌄
Standard EPUBs with typical formatting — fonts, headings, paragraphs, images, and CSS styling — convert with high fidelity. EPUBs with very complex layouts, custom JavaScript, or non-standard CSS may have minor rendering differences. The tool renders content as authored rather than extracting and rebuilding it, so standard formatting is preserved faithfully.
Can I convert DRM-protected EPUBs?⌄
No. DRM (Digital Rights Management) protected EPUBs are encrypted and cannot be read without the proper decryption key from the ebook retailer. The tool can only process DRM-free EPUBs that you own or have permission to convert.
