Why convert DOCX to EPUB?
EPUB is the standard ebook format for Apple Books, Kobo, Google Play Books and Kindle (through Send to Kindle). Converting a Word manuscript to EPUB lets readers change font size and read comfortably on phones and e-readers.
When to keep the DOCX
Keep the DOCX as your manuscript: make changes there and convert again, rather than editing the EPUB itself.
Tips for the best result
- Use Word heading styles for chapter titles; they become the table of contents.
- Images in the document are included in the book.
- Keep layout simple: text boxes and complex tables do not flow well on small screens.
Common problems and fixes
- There is no table of contents.
- Chapters must use Heading 1 or Heading 2 styles in Word, not just large bold text.
- Page breaks look odd.
- Ebooks reflow text, so fixed page breaks disappear. Start each chapter with a heading instead.
EPUB – Electronic Publication
EPUB is the open standard ebook format. Text reflows to fit any screen, and it is supported by nearly every e-reader except older Kindles.

Frequently asked questions
Can I put the EPUB on my Kindle?
Yes. Current Kindles accept EPUB through Amazon's Send to Kindle, which converts it for you.
Is the EPUB ready to publish?
It is a valid ebook you can read and share. Stores may have extra requirements such as a cover image and metadata.
How do I convert DOCX to EPUB?
Click Select File or drop your DOCX file onto the upload box. The converted EPUB appears in the list below with a download button. You can add many files at once and download them together as a ZIP.
Is it really free?
Yes. There is no sign-up and no watermark. To keep the service available for everyone there is a 95MB limit per file and a cap on how many files one connection can process in a short period.
Are my files stored?
Your upload is used only to make the converted file. Images are processed in memory; other files are written to a private temporary folder that is deleted as soon as the conversion finishes. Nothing is kept after the result has been sent back.
Will quality drop?
For images, a little, by design: the image is re-encoded at the Quality you choose (default 75%). Audio and video are re-encoded with high-quality settings; documents keep their text and layout as far as the target format allows. Converting never restores detail that is already missing from the original.
How this works: your file is uploaded over HTTPS and converted on this server with open-source engines (libvips for images, FFmpeg for audio and video, LibreOffice and Pandoc for documents, Calibre for ebooks, Ghostscript and Inkscape for PDF and vector files). Images are processed in memory; other files use a private temporary folder that is deleted as soon as the conversion finishes.
