How to convert EPUB to Markdown

  1. Add your EPUB files

    Drag one or more EPUB files onto the dashed area, or tap it to pick them from your device.

  2. Choose Markdown and the options

    Markdown is already selected; the options hold the settings that matter for this conversion.

  3. Convert and download

    Press “Convert to Markdown”. When it’s done, download the files one by one or all together in a ZIP archive.

Good to know. Fonts, colours and very elaborate layouts are simplified: the structure (headings, lists, tables) is what’s preserved.

Questions about EPUB and Markdown

Are the images in the document kept?

Yes, images embedded in the EPUB are copied into the Markdown.

Are my EPUB files uploaded to a server?

No. The conversion from EPUB to Markdown happens entirely in your browser, using your device’s computing power. Files aren’t sent or stored anywhere: when you close the page they’re gone from memory too.

How many files can I convert at once?

Up to 100 files at a time. There’s no fixed size limit: it depends on your device’s memory. On smartphones it’s best to work in smaller batches with heavy files such as videos.

Does it work on iPhone and Android?

Yes, with up-to-date Safari, Chrome, Firefox, Edge and Samsung Internet. On phones, converted files end up in the Downloads folder or the Files app.

Do I need an internet connection?

Only to open the page (and, the first time, to download the components needed for that type of file). After that the conversion keeps working even if the connection drops.
