How to convert EPUB to Markdown
Select your EPUB file
Open the book from your device. It is read by your browser directly — nothing is uploaded anywhere.
Convert to Markdown
Each chapter is parsed and rebuilt as Markdown — headings, lists, links and emphasis included. A progress bar follows along while it runs locally.
Download the .md file
Save the Markdown file and drop it into Obsidian, Notion, Git or any AI pipeline that eats text.
A bridge from e-books to everything else
E-books live inside reader apps; Markdown lives everywhere else. Converting an EPUB to Markdown moves the book into the plain-text ecosystem: knowledge bases like Obsidian, workspaces like Notion, static-site generators, documentation systems and version control.
Structure survives the move. Chapter titles become headings, lists stay lists, links stay links, quotes keep their angle — the document reads like a book even in a plain text editor.
Built for AI and RAG pipelines
If you are feeding books to a language model — for question answering, summaries or a retrieval pipeline — Markdown is the most LLM-friendly form a book can take. One clean file, explicit heading hierarchy, no binary formatting noise for a model to trip over.
Heading levels make natural chunk boundaries for RAG: split on chapters, keep the hierarchy as metadata, and every chunk arrives with its context attached.
Frequently asked questions
Is this EPUB to Markdown converter really free?
Yes. Every tool on iloveepub is free, with no accounts, no credits and no daily limits. The site is supported by ads, not subscriptions.
Which formatting survives the conversion?
Headings (as # levels), bold and italics, links, lists (nested included), block quotes, code blocks, tables and horizontal rules. Anything the book marks up semantically carries over; pure visual styling does not.
What happens to images?
Each image becomes a standard Markdown reference like . The reference keeps the alt text and path, but image files themselves are not exported — the output is a single self-contained .md file.
Can I import the result into Obsidian or Notion?
Yes — the output is standard CommonMark-flavored Markdown. Drag the .md file into an Obsidian vault or a Notion import and it lands with headings, lists and links intact.
Why convert books to Markdown for AI use?
Markdown is the cleanest text form a book can take for a language model: explicit structure, no layout noise, one file. It chunks predictably for RAG pipelines and gives models reliable heading context.
Is my book 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.
