How to convert an EPUB ebook to Markdown

  1. Choose an EPUB ebookDrop or select one EPUB 2 or EPUB 3 file. There is no fixed file-size cutoff; very large books depend on the memory available in your browser.
  2. Review chapters and illustrationsCheck the detected headings, paragraph breaks and images. Dense chapter indexes become readable lists, and repeated image-only chapter ornaments are removed.
  3. Export your edited resultCopy the Markdown, download an MD file, or download a ZIP with the deduplicated image assets and their relative paths.

What LensUp keeps and cleans

LensUp keeps spine order, headings, paragraph breaks, lists, simple tables and supported illustrations. Dense inline chapter indexes are split into readable links; high-frequency image-only ornaments are removed.

The preview never loads remote images. Review publisher-specific notes, complex layouts and unusual CSS before using the result.

EPUB to Markdown questions

How do I convert EPUB to Markdown?

Choose one EPUB file. LensUp converts it locally, preserves reading order and lets you edit the result before copying or downloading it.

Does my ebook leave my device?

No. EPUB parsing and Markdown generation run in your browser. LensUp does not upload the book, its text or its images.

Are chapters and images preserved?

Spine reading order, headings, paragraphs, lists, simple tables and supported PNG, JPEG, GIF and WebP images are preserved. Repeated image-only chapter ornaments are removed; download the ZIP to keep image files.

What may need review after conversion?

Publisher-specific footnotes, decorative layouts, merged cells, unusual CSS and links to non-chapter package files may be simplified. Password-protected, damaged or DRM-restricted books are not supported.
