How it works / no cloud
A conversion engine, not an upload form.
filetity unpacks the EPUB in your browser, puts its chapters back together in spine order, and hands the result to your browser's own print engine, which is what turns it into a PDF. That engine already knows how to break pages sensibly, keep a heading with the paragraph beneath it, avoid splitting a figure, and lay out Arabic, Hebrew and Indic text correctly. Nothing is uploaded and no conversion engine is downloaded.

Straight answers
No accordion. Nothing hidden.
- Is it free?
- Yes, with no watermark and no page limit.
- Does it need an account?
- No. There is no account system.
- Is my file processed on my device?
- Yes. The file is read by your browser and never uploaded. There is no server to send it to.
- What formats are supported?
- EPUB in, without DRM. PDF out, through your browser's Save as PDF.
- What are the limits?
- The PDF arrives through the print dialog rather than as a direct download. DRM-protected books are refused. MOBI and AZW3 are not EPUB and are not supported.
- Does it work on mobile?
- Yes, on any modern mobile browser. Large files are limited by the memory the phone gives the browser.
- Does it work offline?
- Yes. Nothing is downloaded to make this work, so it keeps working with no network connection once the page has loaded.
- Why does a print dialog open instead of a file downloading?
- Because your browser's print engine is doing the typesetting, and it is far better at it than anything this page could ship. It knows the book's own fonts, breaks pages properly, keeps headings with their text, and lays out right-to-left and Indic scripts correctly. Choose Save as PDF as the destination and you get the file. The alternative was to draw every word by hand into a PDF, which would mean a megabyte of fonts and broken output for most of the world's writing systems.
- Can it convert a book from Kindle, Kobo or Apple Books?
- Only if the book has no DRM. Most shop-bought ebooks are locked to the store you bought them from, and filetity does not remove DRM and is not going to. The page tells you which scheme it found so you know where the book came from. Books from Project Gutenberg, StandardEbooks, most indie publishers and anything you made yourself are DRM-free and convert fine.
- Does it handle MOBI or AZW3?
- No. Those are Amazon's formats, not EPUB, and this page only reads EPUB. Anything claiming to do all three in a browser is worth checking before you trust it.
- Will the pictures and fonts survive?
- Yes. Images, embedded fonts and the book's own stylesheets all come through, because the browser is rendering the real book rather than an approximation of it. The one exception is a publisher who obfuscated their fonts, in which case that font falls back to a serif.
- How do I stop the date and URL appearing on every page?
- That is your browser adding them, not the book. In Chrome, untick Headers and footers in the print dialog's More settings. Safari and Firefox have the same option under a similar name.
- Where do the page breaks come from?
- An EPUB has no pages. It reflows to whatever screen it is on, which is why an ebook has no fixed page count. The breaks come from the paper size you choose here, and each chapter starts on a fresh page.
