Convert PDF to EPUB, and EPUB to PDF
A PDF is hard to read on a small screen because its pages do not reflow. PDF Maker turns a PDF into an EPUB e-book on your Android phone, with chapters and pictures, and turns EPUB books into PDFs to print or share.
These steps are for PDF Maker, our Android app. The app does the work on your phone; this web page does not touch your files.
How to convert a PDF to EPUB
- Open PDF Maker and tap PDF to EPUB in the Convert group, then choose the PDF.
- Check the Title and, if you like, add the Author.
- Under Chapters, choose At headings (chapters follow the document's headings) or Every 10 pages for a PDF without headings.
- Tap Convert, then save the .epub or share it to your e-reader app.
The book has a table of contents, the text in reading order, and the pictures of the PDF. The text reflows to fit any screen and font size. Pages that are only a picture go in as that picture, and scanned pages are read with OCR (Latin scripts and Devanagari).
How to convert an EPUB to PDF
- Tap EPUB to PDF and Choose an EPUB.
- Pick the Paper size: A5 (book-like) or A4.
- Tap Convert. The book's own styles and pictures are kept, and any script is shaped correctly.
Books locked with DRM (most bought from e-book stores) cannot be converted; the app tells you when a book is locked.
Printing an e-book
For a printed copy, convert to A5 and then use Booklet: the pages are arranged so the printed stack folds into a little book. Both converters run on your phone with no upload and no daily limit.
