Good to know
- The LIT e-book is converted by calibre. Copy-protected (DRM) e-books cannot be converted: ConvertKitty does not remove DRM, so use books you have bought without it or that are free of it.
- The EPUB e-book is made by calibre from the text, headings and pictures of the LIT file; a cover is not created.
Frequently asked questions
Is converting LIT to EPUB free?
Yes. Everyone gets 25 free credits a day, with no account needed. Conversions on our server use one credit per started minute of work, so most cost a single credit. Credits reset at midnight UTC.
Are my LIT files uploaded anywhere?
This conversion runs on our server, because reading an LIT file needs calibre, which does not run in a browser. Your file is sent over an encrypted connection, and both it and the result are deleted 72 hours after the conversion. The server has no internet access while it works on your file.
How large can the LIT file be?
Up to 1 GB per file. This conversion runs on our server, which accepts files up to that size.
Will the EPUB look the same as the LIT?
The text, chapters and pictures are kept. The look can differ: EPUB readers use their own fonts and page sizes, so page breaks move.
Can I convert several LIT files at once?
Yes. Add as many files as you like; they are converted one after another, and each one gets its own Download button.
