About EPUB
EPUB is the open ebook standard, now maintained by the W3C. An EPUB is a ZIP of XHTML pages, CSS and images, so the text reflows to fit any screen.
Ebooks from most stores and libraries, read in Apple Books, Kobo and Google Play Books, and on Kindle through Send to Kindle since 2022.
Store-bought EPUBs are often DRM-protected, and protected files cannot be converted.

Why does my EPUB book look completely different on every reader? EPUB is reflowable by design — text reshapes itself to each screen and font — so there is no fixed page layout to preserve.
About PDF
PDF (Portable Document Format) is the ISO 32000 standard for fixed-layout documents that look the same on every device.
Sharing, printing and archiving documents; here PDF is an output format for images, drawings and e-books.
This service only creates PDFs; editing, merging or converting existing PDFs is the job of NexDocs.
Why convert documents to PDF? The layout looks identical on every device and printer, which is exactly why forms, invoices and papers are exchanged as PDF.
What changes when you convert EPUB to PDF
- The EPUB book is laid out as fixed PDF pages: its text, images and chapter headings carry over, but the pages are newly set and can look different from the book on an e-reader.
- EPUB files can carry DRM copy protection; protected files are detected and refused, because copy protection is never removed.
- E-book pagination is approximate for reflowable formats.
