Private DOCX to EPUB converter

Convert a finished text-led DOCX into a navigable EPUB draft.

The manuscript stays in your browser. The converter uses Word heading styles to build chapters, writes EPUB metadata and navigation, and refuses to silently discard images, tables, or footnotes.

Build a draft EPUB from a text-led DOCX

Choose a clean Word manuscript, confirm the book metadata, then download an EPUB 3 draft with navigation and reading order.

What the browser converter preserves

For a clean, text-led DOCX, the converter reads paragraphs and Heading 1 or Heading 2 chapter markers, then creates XHTML chapters, a navigation document, reading order, stylesheet, identifier, title, author, and language metadata.

The downloadable file is a draft for proofing. A commercial release still needs full EPUBCheck validation, device testing, accessibility review, cover metadata, and a final comparison with the approved manuscript.

  • Chapter navigation
  • Ordered spine
  • Basic reflowable typography

Why the converter stops instead of losing content

Images, tables, equations, sidebars, endnotes, and footnotes require relationship mapping and responsive design. A generic converter can appear successful while dropping or scrambling them. ShipMyBook reports those blockers and sends the book to the paid or assisted path instead of creating a misleading clean file.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Is the converted EPUB free to download?

Yes, for an eligible text-led DOCX. The $39 release adds checked outputs, print interior, metadata and launch assets, version control, and human quality review during the pilot.

Why were my images not converted?

The free converter stops when it finds embedded images so it cannot silently deliver an incomplete book. Use a higher-fidelity release path for image-led content.

Does this replace EPUBCheck?

No. It creates a standards-shaped EPUB draft. Run the current official EPUBCheck and proof the book in reading systems before release.

Need the EPUB, print file, and listing to stay together?

The one-book release ties every checked output to the source version you approve.
