How to convert DOCX to EPUB
Select your DOCX file
Open the .docx from your device. It is read directly by your browser — nothing is uploaded anywhere.
Convert to EPUB
Word headings become EPUB chapters and images are embedded. A progress bar follows along while it runs locally on your device.
Download the EPUB
Save the ebook and read it in Kindle, Kobo, Apple Books or any EPUB reader — the text now reflows to any screen size.
Made for manuscripts written in Word
Most books start life in Microsoft Word. But a .docx file is a print-format document — on an e-reader it is either unreadable or reflowed badly. Converting to EPUB gives the same manuscript a native ebook form: resizable text, chapter navigation, and comfortable reading on Kindle, Kobo, Apple Books and every EPUB-based reader.
Because the conversion runs entirely on your device, unpublished drafts stay unpublished: the manuscript is never sent to a server, so there is nothing to leak, store or sell.
Use Word headings to get clean chapters
The converter splits your book at every Heading 1: each Heading 1 starts a new EPUB chapter and its text becomes the chapter title, while Heading 2 stays a section inside the chapter. If a document has no Heading 1 at all, Heading 2 takes over as the split level; a document without any headings still converts — it just becomes one long chapter.
The book title is taken from the first Heading 1 in the document, or from the file name if there is none. Applying proper heading styles in Word before converting is the single biggest thing you can do for a clean, navigable ebook.
What converts well — and what doesn't
Carried over: paragraphs, bold and italics, hyperlinks, bulleted and numbered lists (including nested ones), block quotes, simple tables and embedded images.
Simplified or dropped: complex tables with merged cells are flattened, footnotes are not converted (Word stores them outside the main flow), text boxes, SmartArt, comments and tracked changes are ignored, and the old binary .doc format is not supported — re-save those files as .docx first.
Frequently asked questions
Do Word headings become EPUB chapters?
Yes. Every paragraph styled as Heading 1 in Word starts a new chapter, and the heading text becomes the chapter's title in the ebook's table of contents. If the document has no Heading 1 at all, Heading 2 paragraphs are used to split chapters instead. Heading 3–6 keep their nesting.
Are images from the Word file kept?
Yes. Images embedded in the document are carried into the EPUB and displayed inline where they appear in the text. Images that are merely linked from your hard drive (not embedded in the .docx) cannot be included.
Can I convert an old .doc file?
No — the legacy binary .doc format is not supported. Open the file in Word (or LibreOffice) and save it as .docx first; the converter will then handle it like any modern Word document.
What happens to tables and footnotes?
Simple tables convert as plain tables. Complex tables — merged cells, nested grids, heavy styling — are flattened into a simplified form. Footnotes are not converted, because Word stores them outside the main document flow; move critical notes into the body text before converting.
Is my document uploaded to a server?
Never. The conversion runs entirely in your browser — you can verify it yourself: open your browser's network inspector while converting and you will see zero uploads. Your manuscript never leaves your device.
Is there a file size limit?
Files up to 120 MB are supported. Because the whole document is processed in memory, very large files (with many images) may be slow on low-RAM devices — you will see a warning above 100 MB. There is no cost and no daily limit.
