EPUB to Markdown

Convert an EPUB e-book into Markdown chapters

You picked up an e-book as an EPUB file, maybe from a library or something you published, and now want to quote a passage or read it in a plain text editor instead of an e-reader app. EPUB files store chapters as separate internal pages wrapped in their own formatting, which makes them awkward to search or copy from directly. This tool unpacks that structure into Markdown you can open anywhere.

Upload your epub file and the tool works through its chapters in order, converting each into a Markdown section with headings and paragraphs, keeping lists or emphasis from the original. The result is one Markdown file laid out chapter by chapter, so the book's structure survives even though the file is no longer tied to a reading app. There are no options to set; upload the book and download the text.

This suits searching a whole book at once, editing your writing after exporting it, or moving a book's text into a note system built around Markdown.

What to check afterward

• Heavily styled layouts, such as textbooks with sidebars or columns, may not translate cleanly.
• Images inside the book are not the focus here, so review the result if pictures mattered.
• Only one EPUB file converts per run, processed on our servers over an encrypted connection.
• The file is deleted within 60 minutes after conversion finishes.
