Practical answers about EPUB, formatting, and browser-side conversion.
How do I convert Markdown to EPUB?+
Paste or upload Markdown, optionally import relative images in a ZIP, then generate a reflowable EPUB 3 ebook in your browser.
Which EPUB version is generated?+
The exporter creates a reflowable EPUB 3 publication with a package document, reading order, navigation document, safe XHTML, and CSS.
Does the EPUB include a table of contents?+
Yes. Markdown headings become linked navigation entries in reading order.
Can the EPUB contain images?+
PNG, JPEG, and GIF files from a Markdown ZIP package are included. BMP files and unresolved images remain labeled placeholders for reading-system compatibility.
Will the EPUB look identical in every reader?+
No. Reading apps control fonts, line length, and pagination. The export uses neutral content styles, but you should check it in the reader you plan to use.
What should I review before distributing the ebook?+
Check the table of contents, book metadata, heading order, wide tables, image sizing, and internal links.
Is the EPUB generated locally?+
Yes. XHTML generation and EPUB ZIP packaging happen entirely in the current browser tab.
