Get a reflowable ebook from a PDF
PDF to EPUB extracts the text of each page and repackages it as chapters in a
standard .epub file, so the content reflows to fit any screen
size or font setting instead of staying locked to the PDF's fixed page
layout. Pages that are actually scanned images (no embedded text layer) are
run through OCR automatically, so scanned books still produce readable
chapters instead of blank ones.

Is the PDF to EPUB tool private?
Yes. Your file is uploaded over encrypted HTTPS, processed, handed back, and then deleted — the upload goes the moment the PDF to EPUB operation finishes and the result the instant you download it, with an hourly sweeper as a backstop. Unlike closed tools that just claim they don't keep your files, Forge Files's code is fully open source, so you can verify exactly how the PDF to EPUB tool handles your data — or self-host it. No account, no watermark, no upsell. See our privacy details for the full picture.
Frequently asked questions
Will scanned PDFs work?
Yes, any page without a real text layer is rasterized and run through OCR, so scanned books still produce readable chapters.
Does it keep the original page layout?
No, EPUB is a reflowable format: text is extracted page by page into chapters so it can adapt to any screen. For a page-image-perfect copy, use PDF to PowerPoint instead.
Is it free?
Yes, no signup, no watermark, and the code is open source.
