Turn an EPUB into a PDF with a fixed page layout — the same on every screen and printer, unlike a reflowing EPUB.

Every converter here is free, full size, no account. Photos convert in your browser and never leave it, except camera RAW files and SVG tracing. Those, like video, audio and e-books, need our server — and we delete them right after.
How to convert EPUB to PDF: drop the EPUB on the box above (PDF is already selected), wait a few seconds, then save PDF to your device. This free online EPUB to PDF converter runs Calibre on our server, so there's nothing to install on Windows, a Mac, Linux or a phone. It's also an online EPUB converter to PDF, MOBI, AZW3 or TXT: pick what to convert to in the menu. That's how convert EPUB to PDF jobs work on any device.
EPUB reflows: the reader's app decides the font, size and page breaks, which is exactly what you want on a phone or e-reader. PDF freezes the page instead — every margin, image and line break stays exactly where the original put it. That matters for anything where the layout carries meaning: comics, textbooks with diagrams, sheet music, or a document you plan to print. Turning an EPUB into a PDF for printing is the most common reason people come here.
A PDF is fixed-size, so on a small phone screen you will be pinching and scrolling because there's no way for the text to reflow to fit. If the book is mostly plain prose, keep it as EPUB (or convert it for a Kindle instead) and save PDF for things where the exact layout matters.
A browser cannot rewrite an EPUB into a PDF, so your file is uploaded to our server, converted there and deleted right after. We keep no copy. The video compressor and the other video and audio tools work the same way; photos (HEIC, PNG, WEBP, JPG) convert entirely in your browser.
Files up to 100 MB are accepted. Books with DRM (copy protection), which is most books bought from a store, can't be converted; DRM-free books such as your own writing or public-domain titles work fine.
Text, images and the book's own font carry over. When you change from EPUB to PDF the text stops reflowing: chapters start on new pages at a standard paper size, and the table of contents usually becomes PDF bookmarks. Changing EPUB format to PDF can't fix a badly made EPUB, though; if the book looks odd in a reader, it will look odd in the PDF too.
Every online conversion of EPUB to PDF here runs the same way, whether the book is EPUB 2 or EPUB 3, and for a typical novel a free online convert EPUB to PDF job takes a few seconds. It's a plain EPUB to PDF file converter: no wizard, no settings screen.
CloudConvert EPUB to PDF and CloudConvert PDF to EPUB work well, as do Zamzar PDF to EPUB conversions; both sites upload the file too and both have free tiers with daily limits. Here there's no daily cap and no account; the limit is 100 MB per file, and when the server is busy, free conversions wait their turn.
Converted book leaves wide blank margins in the PDF? ScanReviver's crop PDF trims them off the whole file in one pass, no page-by-page editing.
Only need a couple of chapters, not the whole converted book? ScanReviver's delete pages removes the ones you don't want and keeps the rest in order. For other file to PDF jobs, ScanReviver has a whole PDF tool set; this page is only an EPUB converter, not a general PDF converter.
Because PDF freezes the page exactly as designed, which matters for comics, textbooks with diagrams, or anything you plan to print. Plain-text books usually read better as EPUB or MOBI, which reflow to fit the screen.
Very close. ebook-convert renders each page from the EPUB's own styling, so text, images, fonts and chapter breaks carry over, and the table of contents becomes PDF bookmarks. Very complex layouts can shift a little.
Yes, it is uploaded: a browser cannot rewrite an e-book's internal format, so the file goes to our server, converts, and is deleted straight away; nothing is read or stored, which matters for a manuscript. If you'd rather not upload at all, Calibre on your own computer does the same conversion.
Yes: a free EPUB to PDF converter with no account, no watermarks, no trial, no per-file charge and no daily cap; the only limit is the 100 MB file size, which covers almost any book. As an online converter EPUB files need nothing installed for: a free online converter EPUB to PDF that runs as EPUB to PDF online free in your browser with nothing installed: any free online converter from EPUB to PDF has to run somewhere, and this one runs Calibre on our own server and deletes the file afterwards. Drop your EPUB onto the box above, PDF is pre-selected, and the result downloads in seconds. Spanish, Portuguese and Italian write it as "EPUB a PDF"; same box.
Yes: pick EPUB in the menu of the box above, or use the e-book converter. It works best on a PDF made from real text. A scanned PDF with no text layer has nothing to extract, so to convert PDF to EPUB from a scan, run it through OCR first.
Open this page in Edge, Safari or Chrome, drop the EPUB in and save the PDF; nothing is installed, and Calibre does the work on our server. On a phone it works the same in the mobile browser. That covers how do I convert an EPUB file to PDF, and how to convert an EPUB file to PDF, on any device; reading the PDF on a small screen is the harder part, because a fixed page doesn't reflow.
Convert it here, open the PDF in any PDF reader and print at actual size. For a comic or a picture book, check a page or two first. Keep the PDF as your print copy and the EPUB for reading on a device.
If you are wondering how to open EPUB file contents as a PDF: you can't, they are different formats under the hood. But you can read it as it is in free readers such as Apple Books, Calibre and Thorium. Converting makes sense when an app won't open the EPUB, or when you send it to someone with no e-book reader: a PDF opens in every browser, so this is how to change EPUB to PDF for them and turn EPUB into PDF in one step.
One at a time: convert EPUB file to PDF, save it, then drop the next. There's no daily cap, so a whole shelf just takes a few minutes.
Can any EPUB format convert to PDF? Yes, version 2 or 3 alike, and each PDF convert keeps the book's own styling. Fixed-layout EPUBs (some comics and children's books) convert too.
Public-domain libraries such as Project Gutenberg and Standard Ebooks let you download EPUB files without DRM, and those convert without problems.
No. The menu also offers MOBI, AZW3, EPUB and TXT, so it doubles as a small ebook converter. A PDF EPUB conversion (PDF in, EPUB out) works too, within the limits above.
