Word to EPUB Converter — Free DOCX to EPUB eBook Maker

Word to EPUB Converter — Free DOCX to EPUB eBook Maker. Free Word to EPUB converter. Convert DOCX to a real EPUB 3 eBook with chapters, a table of contents, images, lists, tables and links, add a title, author and cover — 100% in your browser, no upload.

Our free Word to EPUB converter turns a .docx manuscript into a standards-compliant EPUB 3 eBook that opens in Apple Books, Google Play Books, Kobo, Calibre, Thorium and most e-readers, and can be sent to Kindle.

Instead of flattening your document into plain text, the DOCX to EPUB converter keeps its structure: Word headings become chapters and a clickable table of contents, while bold, italic, underline, bulleted and numbered lists (including nested lists), tables, hyperlinks and embedded images are carried over into clean XHTML with a reflowable stylesheet.

Before you convert Word to EPUB, fill in the book title and author (pre-filled from the document properties), choose the book language, decide whether a new chapter starts at Heading 1 or at Heading 1 and 2, and optionally add a JPG or PNG cover image.

The result screen shows the number of chapters, words and images, previews the table of contents and lets you download the .epub file named after your document.

It works as a quick EPUB maker for novels, short stories, course notes, manuals and reports — no Calibre install or account required.

Conversion runs entirely in your browser with JavaScript, so unpublished manuscripts and confidential documents are never uploaded to a server. For best results use Word's built-in heading styles; legacy .doc files must first be saved as .docx.

Need a different format? Turn Word files into PDFs with Word to PDF, convert eBooks to print-ready documents with EPUB to PDF, or go the other way with PDF to Word.

Frequently asked questions

How do I convert a Word document to EPUB?

Drop a .docx file onto the upload area or click to browse. Check the Book title, Author and Language in eBook settings (filled from the document properties when available), optionally add a cover image, then click Convert to EPUB Format and Download EPUB.

How are chapters and the table of contents created?

Chapters start at your Word headings. In Start a new chapter at, choose Heading 1 (the default), Heading 1 & 2, or No split. Each chapter becomes an entry in the EPUB 3 table of contents, which is listed on the page after conversion, so use Word's built-in Heading styles for best results.

Which formatting is kept in the EPUB?

Headings, paragraphs, bold and italic text, lists, tables, links and images in PNG, JPG, GIF, SVG or WebP format are carried over. Images in formats e-readers do not support, such as EMF or WMF, are skipped and the tool tells you how many.

Can I convert an old .doc file to EPUB?

No. Only .docx files are supported. Open the .doc file in Word or LibreOffice, save it as .docx, and then convert it here.

How do I add a cover image to my eBook?

Click Add cover image and choose a JPG, PNG, GIF or WebP file. It becomes the cover page of the EPUB; click Remove cover to take it out again.

Is my Word document uploaded to a server?

No. The .docx file is read and the EPUB is built entirely in your browser, so your manuscript never leaves your device.
