About this tool
PDFs have a fixed page layout, so on a phone or Kindle you have to pinch and zoom to read them. EPUB is a reflowable ebook format: the text adapts to any screen size and you can change the font size. Amazon’s Send to Kindle service accepts EPUB files and converts them for Kindle devices and apps.
This converter reads the text from your PDF, rebuilds paragraphs, removes page numbers and repeating headers, detects chapter headings by their larger font size and creates a proper EPUB 3 file with a table of contents. Everything runs in your browser — your PDF is never uploaded.
What works best
- ✅ Novels, reports, guides and other text-based PDFs
- ⚠ Complex layouts (magazines, multi-column pages, tables) may need manual tidying
- ❌ Scanned PDFs (photos of pages) contain no real text and can’t be converted without OCR
Publishing on Amazon KDP? For the best result, build your EPUB from the original Word document with our EPUB Maker — it keeps your formatting far more accurately than a PDF can.
Frequently asked questions
Can Kindle read EPUB files?
Yes. Upload the EPUB through Amazon’s Send to Kindle website, app or email address and Amazon converts it for your Kindle device and apps.
Is my PDF uploaded anywhere?
No. The conversion runs entirely in your browser, so your file stays on your device.
Why is my EPUB empty or missing text?
Your PDF is probably scanned (made of images). Those need OCR software first, or use the original document with our EPUB Maker.
Will images be kept?
Text is converted; inline images from the PDF are not included. You can add a cover image.
