Convert ebooks to document, image, presentation, or other ebook files
or drop, paste, or choose from cloud
TXT strips the chapters, styling and packaging and leaves the words. That is what a script, a search index or a language model can actually read.
A Word document keeps the headings, paragraphs and emphasis, so the text stays readable while you rewrite, comment on or reformat it.
Files are converted automatically in EU data centres over an encrypted connection, with no human access, and they are never used to train AI models.
Both come from the same ebook. What you do next decides which one you want.
| Output | Choose it when | You give up |
|---|---|---|
| TXT | Feeding a script, a search index or a language model | All formatting, including headings |
| DOCX | Editing, commenting or reformatting in Word | Nothing much; headings and emphasis survive |
| Sending a fixed copy that has to print the same everywhere | Reflowing text and easy editing | |
| RTF, ODT, HTML | Working somewhere other than Word | Little; all three keep basic structure |
| EPUB, MOBI, AZW3, FB2 | Moving the book to a different reader | Nothing; it stays an ebook |
If the source is an older file, set the input encoding as well. That single setting is what stands between clean text and rows of question marks.
Why use an online file converter instead of downloading converter software? There are some good reasons.
First, using an online ebook converter saves CPU and hard disk space because you do not have to install anything on your computer or device. Everything is handled online, which means all you need is an internet connection. This also reduces the risk of unsafe downloads that might contain viruses.
You can use an online converter anywhere you have internet access, so you are not limited to your computer. Convert on the go, during your commute, at work, at home, and even on your phone.
Every text file declares which character set it uses, and older ones frequently declare the wrong one. Extract the text without correcting that and the accents, quotation marks and non-Latin characters come out as question marks or unreadable pairs.
The input encoding setting fixes it. Pick the character set the source really uses and the text comes through intact. That matters most when the output is plain text, because there is no formatting left to disguise the damage.
Books protected with DRM are the one thing that cannot be converted. That protection is part of the file and no application can work around it.
Upload your ebook file.
Choose a file format from the drop-down menu. There are many options.
Adjust any settings you need for your conversion (optional).
Click "Start".
Yes. Everyday conversions are free and need no account: upload the ebook, pick the output and download the file. A subscription only matters for very large files, longer batches and priority processing.
Yes. Choose DOCX and the headings, paragraphs and emphasis come across, so the text is ready to edit. RTF and ODT work the same way if you are not using Word.
Everything except the words: headings, bold and italics, images, links and the table of contents. That is usually the point. If you need any of it back, convert to DOCX instead.
The source declares the wrong character set, which older files often do. Set the input encoding to the one the file really uses and convert again.
EPUB, MOBI, AZW3, FB2, LIT, LRF, PDB and TCR, along with PDF and ordinary documents. Files locked with DRM cannot be converted by any application.
Yes. Add as many books as you need and they convert in one go, each returned as its own file in the format you picked.
No. Conversion is fully automated in EU data centres with no human access, files travel over an encrypted connection, and nothing you upload is used to train AI models.
Use the convert to ebook app to turn a document into EPUB, MOBI or one of seven other ebook formats. It is the same converter, pointed the other way.
Everything here runs in the browser, with no install and no sign-up.
