Why convert EPUB to DOCX?
Converting an EPUB to DOCX lets you edit the text of an ebook in Word, for example to fix your own book, prepare a print version or quote from a DRM-free text.
When to keep the EPUB
Keep the EPUB for reading: it is the better format on phones and e-readers, where text reflows to fit the screen.
Tips for the best result
- Chapters, headings, paragraphs and images are kept.
- Check the result in Word and adjust styles before printing.
- Books bought from Kindle, Kobo or Google Play are usually DRM-protected and cannot be converted. DRM-free books, such as those from Project Gutenberg or many independent authors, work.
Common problems and fixes
- The file will not convert.
- The book is probably DRM-protected. Only DRM-free EPUB files can be converted.
- Fonts and spacing differ.
- Ebook styles do not match Word styles exactly. Adjust them in Word.

Frequently asked questions
Can I convert a book I bought on Kindle?
Not if it has DRM, which most store-bought ebooks have.
Can I convert the DOCX back to EPUB?
Yes, with DOCX to EPUB.
How do I convert EPUB to DOCX?
Click Select File or drop your EPUB file onto the upload box. The converted DOCX 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.
