EPUB to MD Optimization FAQ
How do I convert a EPUB ebook into a MD document?
+
Upload the EPUB file and the converter extracts its chapters, text, and images and rebuilds them as a MD document you can open in an ordinary editor — not a reader app. Chapter order and headings are preserved.
Will chapters and headings survive EPUB to MD?
+
Yes — the EPUB table of contents maps to MD headings, so the document keeps its chapter structure and you can navigate or generate a contents list. Internal cross-references are preserved where MD supports them.
Is the MD text editable after converting from EPUB?
+
Yes — that is the point of converting an ebook into a document. The MD is fully editable: fix typos, restyle, copy passages, or merge with other material in a normal word processor or text editor.
Do images and cover art carry over from EPUB to MD?
+
Embedded illustrations and the cover image in the EPUB are extracted and placed into the MD at their original resolution, near their original positions in the reading flow.
Will the reflowable EPUB layout look right as a fixed MD?
+
Ebook text reflows to any screen; a MD document has a defined page. The converter pours the EPUB text into a sensible default page (A4 / letter) with standard margins. Reflow-specific tricks (drop caps, decorative spacing) may render plainly.
Does DRM affect converting my EPUB to MD?
+
DRM-protected EPUB files are encrypted and cannot be converted — that protection is deliberate. EPUB files you own without DRM (your own writing, public-domain titles, DRM-free purchases) convert normally.
Can I convert several EPUB ebooks to MD at once?
+
Yes — drop multiple EPUB files and each becomes its own MD document in parallel. Useful for turning a series or a research library into editable files in one pass.
Will footnotes and links survive EPUB to MD?
+
Footnotes and hyperlinks in the EPUB are carried into the MD where the target format supports them — links stay clickable, footnotes stay associated with their references.
Is my EPUB ebook private during conversion?
+
Yes — the EPUB and the resulting MD are processed in isolated workers and deleted within minutes. No human reads the manuscript. See /privacy/.
How long does EPUB to MD take?
+
Seconds for a typical book; a large illustrated EPUB with hundreds of images takes a little longer because each image is extracted and re-embedded.
Can I convert just one chapter of the EPUB to MD?
+
The converter produces the whole book as one MD; trim to a single chapter in your editor afterward. Splitting by chapter on conversion is on the roadmap, not in the basic flow.
Do I need an e-reader app to convert EPUB to MD?
+
No — the conversion runs on our servers. You only need a MD-compatible editor if you want to edit the resulting document; no reader software is required.
