Frequently Asked Questions
What is an EPUB file?
EPUB is the standard file format for e-books. Files downloaded from e-book platforms or free e-book websites often have the .epub extension.
What can I do with the extracted text?
You can use the extracted text for character counting, translation, text analysis, or note-taking. It is also useful when you want to process the book content in other tools or compile quotations.
Are formatting elements like bold, italic, or images preserved?
Since this is a TXT conversion, formatting such as bold, italic, and images is not preserved. Only plain text is extracted, and chapter headings are marked as text.
Is the text extracted chapter by chapter?
Yes, the content is split and displayed based on the chapter (table of contents) structure of the EPUB file. A divider or title appears at the beginning of each chapter.
Is the file sent to a server?
No, all processing happens directly in your browser. The EPUB file is never uploaded to a server, so even personal e-books can be converted safely.
