E-book Converter

EPUB is essentially a website in a box: XHTML and CSS zipped together. Because the content reflows, the reader chooses the font size and the text re-wraps, which is why e-books adapt to any screen.

Converting to PDF fixes the layout into pages; converting a PDF to EPUB does the reverse, re-flowing fixed pages into continuous text. Both directions involve a genuine change in how the content is organised.

Your e-books are not uploaded to a server

Most online converters copy your file onto their own computer, convert it there and send it back — that copy is what “upload” means, and it is the part nobody explains. Nothing here does that. An e-book file is often tied to the account that bought it, and a manuscript is often not published yet. Every tool on this page runs inside the browser you are reading this in, so the file is never transmitted, never stored and never seen by anyone. Turn off your Wi-Fi and convert something anyway if you want to watch that be true.

Reflowable and fixed layout

A reflowable book has no inherent pages — what looks like page 40 on your phone is page 25 on a tablet. That is a feature, and it is why EPUB works across devices.

PDF is the opposite: pages are fixed, which suits printing and citation but makes reading on a small screen awkward. Choosing between them is really a question of whether the reader needs a fixed reference or comfortable reading.

DRM and why some books cannot be converted

Books bought from Amazon, Apple or most retailers carry digital rights management that encrypts the content. No conversion is possible while that encryption is in place.

FileTools360 does not remove DRM and will not attempt to. Books you own without DRM — from Project Gutenberg, Standard Ebooks, or a publisher that sells unencumbered files — convert normally.

FAQ

E-book conversion questions

Can I convert Kindle books to EPUB?

Only if they are DRM-free, which most Amazon purchases are not. FileTools360 does not remove DRM. MOBI and AZW3 are listed as unsupported with that explanation rather than failing after you have chosen a file.

Why does my converted PDF have odd page breaks?

EPUB has no inherent pages, so converting to PDF means creating them. FileTools360 lays the text out and breaks pages where they fall, which will not match any particular e-reader's pagination — because no such canonical pagination exists.

Can I convert a PDF into a proper e-book?

You can, with realistic expectations. The text layer is extracted and re-flowed into chapters, which works well for straightforward prose. Page-based layout, columns and image placement are not reproduced, so the result is for reading rather than archiving.
