Convert an eBook to PDF

eBook to PDF converts an EPUB, MOBI, AZW3 or FB2 file to PDF with Calibre's ebook-convert. There are no paper-size or font options, and DRM-protected files fail.

Drag and drop files here, or click to choose

Accepts EPUB, MOBI, AZW3, FB2 · up to 500.0 MB per file · up to 20 files at once

You can also paste a file with Ctrl/Cmd+V, or from the clipboard menu.

Ebook to PDF runs Calibre `ebook-convert` on `.epub`, `.mobi`, `.azw3`, or `.fb2` and writes a PDF. There are no paper-size, font, or margin fields on this page.

Conversion quality is Calibre's default PDF profile for that input. DRM-encumbered Kindle files fail. Fixed-layout EPUBs and comic EPUBs may paginate oddly.

This is not OCR. A scanned ebook that is already images stays images. PDFs and office files belong on other tools.

The output is a PDF named from the source base name. Encrypted inputs that Calibre cannot open are errors, not an unlock tool.

Frequently asked questions

Why did my AZW fail?
Most store AZW/AZW3 files are DRM-wrapped. ebook-convert cannot remove that. Use a file you are allowed to convert.
Can I set page size?
Not on this tool. Calibre runs with no extra flags from the API.
Is this Kindle-to-PDF with fonts preserved?
Only as far as Calibre's importer goes. Expect reflow.
Can I send a PDF ebook here?
No. This path is ebook-convert from the listed formats.
