Convert EPUB to Markdown
Convert EPUB to Markdown right in your browser. Your file is not uploaded to a server.
How to use it
- Drag your .epub files onto the area above, or press "Choose files".
- If options are shown, set them as you like. They appear below the file list.
- Press "Convert". The conversion runs on your device, shows its progress and can be cancelled at any time.
- Press "Download" next to a result. With several results, "Download all as ZIP" gets them in one go.
The formats involved
EPUB .epub
EPUB is an e-book file format that keeps the book content inside a ZIP container (OCF). The specification (W3C EPUB 3.3, section 4.2.2) reserves the file name mimetype.
Markdown .md .markdown
Markdown is a text document format that marks headings, lists and emphasis with symbols such as #, * and -.
What changes in this conversion
- Scripts, event handlers and references that load outside resources are removed from the result.
Limits and things to watch for
- The file size that can be processed depends on your device. The limit for your device is shown in the drop area, and files above it are refused with a message.
- EPUB, MOBI and FB2 files are opened with reading code written for this site. E-books protected by DRM are not opened, and scripts and requests for outside resources inside them are removed.
- Tables become pipe tables with the first row as header.
FAQ
Is my file uploaded to a server?
No. Conversion happens only inside this browser, and file names, contents and results are not sent to our servers. Some converters download their conversion program (code) the first time you use them; your files are not sent then either. See the privacy page for details.
Are e-books with DRM converted?
No. If a file has encryption information other than font obfuscation (encryption.xml), rights information (rights.xml) or the MOBI encryption flag, it is refused. This site has no feature for removing DRM.
