FAQ
Can I convert a purchased eBook?
Most purchased eBooks have DRM (Digital Rights Management) applied, which prevents extraction. Only DRM-free EPUBs (public domain or self-created) are supported.
Which EPUB versions are supported?
Both EPUB 2 and EPUB 3 are supported. Chapters consisting only of images or equations may not yield extractable text.
Is my EPUB file sent to a server?
Never! Everything runs entirely in your browser. Your file is never sent anywhere. 100% safe.
Could the chapter order differ from the original?
Chapters are extracted in the EPUB spine (reading order), so the original order is preserved. Non-standard EPUB structures may occasionally produce a different order.
