Three steps
How it works
Upload your manuscript
Drop in a Word document — .docx gives the best results, and .doc, .odt, .rtf, Apple Pages, Markdown and plain text upload too. Your chapters are detected automatically and appear seconds later.
Review and adjust
Check the detected chapters, fix any split, then choose your trim size, typeface, drop caps, running heads and front matter — with a live preview of real typeset pages as you go.
Download both formats
Generate once and download a store-ready EPUB and a print-ready PDF interior — validated with epubcheck and sized to Amazon KDP’s published specs.

What you get
A bookstore-quality EPUB
Built to the EPUB 3 standard and checked with epubcheck — the same validator the retailers run — so it uploads cleanly to Amazon KDP, Apple Books, Kobo, Google Play Books and aggregators like Draft2Digital. Working table of contents, embedded cover, real front matter.
A print-ready PDF interior
Typeset to the trim size you choose, with mirrored margins and the gutter widened by the arithmetic KDP publishes for your page count — plus running heads, folios, drop caps and scene breaks set like a traditionally published paperback.
Wherever you’re starting from
One upload, every format your book needs
doc2epub is a book typesetter, not a generic file converter. It converts a Word document to EPUB and to a print-ready PDF in one pass, making the hundreds of small typesetting decisions — chapter openers, widows and orphans, hyphenation, front and back matter — that separate a document from a book.
Before you ask
Common questions
- Is it free?
- Uploading, chapter detection, settings and the full-book preview are free for everyone; downloads are free up to the free page limit. Pro unlocks downloads of any length — see pricing.
- Does the EPUB work on Kindle?
- Yes — Amazon KDP has accepted EPUB directly since 2021, no .mobi conversion needed.
- Who can see my manuscript?
- Only you. Your book is private to your account, deleted on your schedule, and never used to train AI models.
- What about my cover?
- Upload a cover image and it’s embedded in your EPUB; the print PDF is your book’s interior, which is what printers ask for.
