PDF to Kindle

Convert a PDF to an EPUB that Send to Kindle delivers as a reflowable Kindle book, with adjustable text size. Free, in your browser, no upload.

Runs in your browser. Your files are never uploaded. How it works

Reading a PDF on a Kindle often means tiny text and lots of zooming. This page converts the PDF into a reflowable EPUB, which Send to Kindle accepts and delivers to your Kindle as a normal book. The text then wraps to fit the screen and you can pick your own font size. The conversion runs in your browser.

Best for

  • Novels, non-fiction and long articles saved as PDF.
  • Reports, manuals and course readers you want to read away from a desk.
  • Scanned books, which are read with text recognition first.

Magazines, comics and designed brochures lose their layout as flowing text; send those as PDF instead. More on options and what is kept: PDF to EPUB.

Frequently asked questions

Can't I just send the PDF to my Kindle?

You can, but a PDF keeps its fixed pages, so on a Kindle screen the text is often tiny and you cannot change the font size. Converted to EPUB first, the text reflows to fit the screen and works like any Kindle book.

Does Kindle accept EPUB files?

Yes. Send to Kindle accepts EPUB and converts it into a Kindle book on delivery. Older formats such as MOBI are no longer needed.

How do I send the EPUB to my Kindle?

E-mail it as an attachment to your Send to Kindle address, drag it into the Send to Kindle web page, or share it to the Kindle app on your phone. It then appears in your Kindle library.

Will chapters show in the Kindle's Go To menu?

The EPUB has a table of contents with a chapter at each large heading, or about every 10 pages when there are no headings, so you can jump between chapters.

Is my PDF uploaded to this site?

No. The EPUB is made in your browser. You only send the finished file to your Kindle yourself.
