Frequently asked questions
Does it preserve chapter order?+
Yes — sections are read in the EPUB's spine (reading) order, so the extracted text follows the same sequence as the book.
Can it read DRM-protected ebooks?+
No. Files protected by Adobe or Amazon DRM cannot be opened by any browser tool; this works on standard, DRM-free EPUB files.
Is it free to use?+
Yes — it is completely free with no sign-up, no account and no usage limits. There is no watermark and no paywall, so you can process as many files as you like.
Is my data private and secure?+
Yes. This tool runs entirely in your browser using client-side JavaScript — your data is never uploaded to a server, stored or logged. Once the page has loaded you can even use it offline, which makes it safe for confidential or proprietary files.
