How to use it
- Drop your EPUB file here.
- Pick a page size: 6×9 in trade paperback, Letter, A4, A5 or e-reader.
- Set the font size and choose serif or sans-serif.
- Choose whether you want the cover and page numbers, then click Convert to PDF.
- The PDF downloads automatically, and the preview shows its first pages.
Why turn an EPUB into a PDF?
EPUB is reflowable: text always fits the screen. That's great on an e-reader, but sometimes you need fixed pages. EPUB to PDF helps when you want to:
- print a chapter, course reader or cookbook,
- read on a device that can't open EPUB, such as many office PCs and older tablets,
- cite page numbers in a paper, class or book club,
- annotate with highlights and comments in any PDF app.
Kitpebble converts the book in your browser. Nothing is uploaded, there's no sign-up, and no watermark is added.
Page size, typeface and layout
| Page size | Best for |
|---|---|
| 6×9 in | The classic trade paperback look |
| Letter | Office printing, room for notes |
| A5 | A compact, book-like page |
| E-reader | Small screens, with narrow margins |
| A4 | International paper size |
Serif (DejaVu Serif) reads like a printed book; sans-serif (DejaVu Sans) stays crisper at small sizes on screens. Both cover accented letters in most European languages. Font size runs from 9 to 16 pt.
Paragraphs are justified with the book's own indents and spacing, and every chapter starts on a new page. Headings aren't left stranded at the bottom of a page, and single lines don't get cut off from their paragraphs.
What carries over
- Cover as a full first page (optional).
- Chapters in reading order, each on a new page.
- Table of contents as PDF bookmarks, including sub-sections.
- Internal links to footnotes and chapters still jump to the right place.
- Formatting: headings, italics, bold, centered lines, blockquotes, lists, tables, code, and simple rules from the book's stylesheet such as paragraph indents.
- Images placed in the text; image-only pages become full-page images.
- Metadata: title and author go into the PDF properties.
DRM and other limits
Many store-bought ebooks are DRM-protected. No legitimate tool can convert them, so you'll get a clear message if you drop one in. DRM-free books work fine: Project Gutenberg and Standard Ebooks titles, many publisher and author downloads, and EPUBs you made yourself.
Some content can't go into a PDF: video and audio, vector SVG drawings (bitmap images inside SVG do carry over), and the book's own embedded fonts. Complex multi-column or text-box layouts become a simple flow, and fixed-layout EPUBs such as comics come through page by page but not pixel-perfect.
For example, a DRM-free novel at 6×9 in with 11 pt serif type becomes a PDF of a few hundred pages with the full chapter list in its bookmarks, usually in under half a minute on a typical computer.
Frequently asked questions
Is my ebook uploaded?
No. Reading the EPUB and building the PDF both happen in your browser.
Can I convert books I bought on Kindle, Kobo or Apple Books?
Not if they're DRM-protected; you'll see a clear message. DRM-free EPUBs work.
Is the table of contents kept?
Yes. It becomes PDF bookmarks with sub-sections, and internal links jump to the right page.
Which page size should I choose?
6×9 in for a book look, Letter or A4 for office printing, and e-reader for small screens.
Why is the font different from my e-reader?
The PDF uses DejaVu Serif or DejaVu Sans. The book's own embedded fonts don't carry over.
