FAQ

Questions about this tool

Direct answers about privacy, compatibility, and output.

Can EPUB to Markdown convert a book for Obsidian?

Yes. EPUB to Markdown can create chapter-separated Markdown and relative image paths for local note and knowledge-base workflows.

Are footnotes preserved?

Common linked note structures are converted where possible, but complex publisher-specific markup may need cleanup.

Can it convert DRM-protected books?

No. Only DRM-free EPUB files are supported.

Are images included in the Markdown export?

Chapter-separated ZIP output can include packaged images and relative references. A single Markdown file cannot embed every EPUB asset automatically.

Does the conversion keep the chapter order?

Yes. Readable documents are processed according to the EPUB spine, with chapter boundaries retained in the selected output format.

Will EPUB styling be preserved?

No. Markdown keeps useful document structure such as headings, lists, links, and emphasis rather than the publication's CSS layout.
