What is a PDF file?
PDF – PDF document. PDF is the document format that looks the same on every device: it fixes where each letter and picture goes on a page. It is made for reading and printing, not for editing.
PDF Converter →What is an OEB file?
OEB – OEB e-book (a folder of files, in a ZIP). OEB (Open eBook) is the folder of files, with an OPF package file, that EPUB grew out of. The result comes as a ZIP of that folder.

Good to know
- A PDF has fixed pages, not paragraphs, so the e-book may break lines where the PDF did. Documents that began as Word files or text give far better e-books.
- An OEB e-book is a folder of files, so it comes back as a ZIP of that folder.
Frequently asked questions
Is converting PDF to OEB 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 PDF files uploaded anywhere?
This conversion runs on our server, because making e-books 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 PDF file be?
Up to 1 GB per file. This conversion runs on our server, which accepts files up to that size.
Will the OEB look the same as the PDF?
The text and structure are kept: headings, lists, tables, bold and italic. Exact page layout, fonts and spacing may differ, because OEB is flowing text, not fixed pages.
Can I convert several PDF 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.
