Pro Tips

Create better e-books

Follow these tips to produce professional-quality EPUB e-books from your Word documents.

Use Heading Styles

Apply Word's built-in Heading 1, Heading 2, and Heading 3 styles. These are automatically converted into EPUB chapters and navigation.

Add a Cover Image

Include a high-quality cover image (1600x2400px recommended). A good cover makes your e-book look professional.

Fill In Metadata

Set the title, author, and description metadata. This information is displayed by e-reader apps and stores.

Use Clean Formatting

Avoid complex tables, text boxes, and multi-column layouts. EPUB is designed for reflowable text, not fixed layouts.

Embed Images Wisely

Images are preserved in the EPUB. Keep them reasonably sized (under 1MB each) to keep the file size manageable.

Test on Multiple Readers

After converting, test your EPUB on different apps (Apple Books, Calibre, Google Play Books) to ensure compatibility.

FAQ

Word to EPUB questions answered

Is the Word to EPUB converter free?

Yes, completely free with unlimited conversions. No signup, no daily limits, no watermarks, and no premium tiers.

Are my Word files uploaded to a server?

No. Convertly processes everything client-side in your browser. Your documents never leave your device, ensuring complete privacy.

What Word formats are supported?

The converter supports .docx (Word 2007 and later). Legacy .doc files should be saved as .docx before converting for best results.

Will my headings become chapters?

Yes. Word heading styles (Heading 1, Heading 2, etc.) are automatically converted into EPUB chapters with a navigable table of contents.

Can I add a cover image?

Yes. You can upload a custom cover image that will be embedded in the EPUB. Recommended size is 1600x2400 pixels for optimal display.

Will the EPUB work on Kindle?

Yes. Kindle supports EPUB format (since 2022). You can also use Amazon's Send to Kindle service to transfer your EPUB directly.

Is there a file size limit?

There are no artificial limits. The only constraint is your device's available memory (RAM). Most browsers handle Word files up to several hundred megabytes.

Does it preserve images and tables?

Images are preserved and embedded in the EPUB. Simple tables convert well. Complex multi-column layouts may not render perfectly in reflowable EPUB format.
