How to Convert EPUB to PDF

July 13, 2026

EPUB is great for reading on phones and e-readers because text reflows to fit your screen. But sometimes you need something fixed — maybe you want to print a chapter, share a section with someone who does not have an e-reader, or send a PDF to a publisher.

Converting EPUB to PDF gives you a print-ready document with page numbers and fixed formatting. Fonts, margins, page breaks — everything stays exactly as you set it. Here is how to do it for free.
