Questions

What happens to images and tables?

Images are dropped entirely. Table cells come through as text, which may read oddly for complex tables.

What encoding is the file?

UTF-8, so accented characters, curly quotes and non-Latin scripts all survive.

Are my files private?

This tool runs entirely inside your browser — your file is never uploaded anywhere. It stays on your device, and closing the tab is all it takes to remove it.

Does this work with DRM-protected books?

No. Files with DRM can’t be opened by any converter. This tool works with DRM-free files — like the ones you export from your own writing tools or buy from DRM-free stores.

Is it really free?

Yes. Every tool, every file size, no account. There is no paid tier and nothing is held back.
