how to convert epub to html
Drop your EPUB file
Drag your EPUB file into the drop zone above, or click the box to pick a file from your computer or phone. The browser reads the file directly — nothing uploads.
Click Convert
The page runs epub.js on your device to decode the Electronic Publication and encode it as HyperText Markup Language. Most conversions finish in a few seconds; large or codec-heavy files (RAW, video) can take longer.
Download the HTML file
When the conversion finishes, the HTML file is ready to download. Save it anywhere on your device.
FAQ
common questions
What does converting EPUB to HTML actually give me?
An EPUB is already a ZIP archive of XHTML chapter files, CSS, and images, so 'converting' really means unpacking the spine and outputting clean HTML you can open in any browser, serve on a website, or import into a CMS. Depending on the tool you get either one consolidated HTML file with images inlined, or a folder of per-chapter HTML files plus an assets directory.
Will the formatting and images be preserved?
Yes — since EPUB is built on HTML and CSS, the styling, headings, links, and images carry over almost losslessly. Most converters either keep the original CSS file or inline the styles, and images are either extracted alongside the HTML or embedded as Base64 data URIs so the file is self-contained.
Why convert EPUB to HTML instead of just opening the EPUB in a reader?
HTML works everywhere — every browser, every CMS, every static site generator — without an EPUB reader plugin, and it's indexable by Google for SEO. Common reasons are publishing book excerpts on a website, embedding content in an LMS, feeding chapters into a search index, or scraping the text for further processing.
Can I convert a DRM-protected EPUB to HTML?
No. Adobe ADEPT, Apple FairPlay, and similar DRM schemes encrypt the EPUB's internal files, so converters can't read the chapters at all and will either fail or produce empty output. Stripping DRM is illegal in most jurisdictions (US DMCA, EU Copyright Directive), so legitimate workflows only apply to DRM-free EPUBs you own.
Does EPUB-to-HTML produce one file or many?
It depends on the tool. EPUBs internally contain one HTML/XHTML file per chapter in the spine; some converters preserve that structure (multiple files plus a table-of-contents page), while others concatenate the spine into a single long HTML document with anchored chapter links — pick based on whether you want a static site or one embeddable page.
