Add readable text to see the chapter plan.
Paste text or open a UTF-8 .txt file, choose how chapters are divided, and create a reflowable EPUB 3 in this browser tab. The chapter preview shows the exact titles the converter has recognized before you download. Blank lines make paragraphs; single line breaks inside a paragraph remain line breaks. This is useful for a clean novel draft, essay collection, or notes that have a readable order. It does not infer typography or recover images from a format that contains only text.
Recognizable heading lines such as ‘Chapter 1: Arrival’ and ‘第一章 初见’ start chapters when splitting is enabled. Switch splitting off to keep everything in one chapter. The preview reports the planned chapter count and labels, so a false break can be fixed in the input before export.
Paste into the editor or choose a .txt file of up to 4 MB. You can correct spacing, headings, or accidental characters in the same editor. The text, file name, title, author, and output are held in the current tab; this tool does not submit manuscript content to a conversion server or analytics.
The download contains ordered XHTML chapters, a table of contents, package metadata, a stylesheet, and the EPUB container files. It is a new file, so the source TXT on your device is not replaced. Open the result in a reader to check how paragraphs and navigation actually behave.

The optional split rule examines entire lines rather than guessing from word frequency, indentation, or font styling that plain text cannot carry. An English line must begin with ‘Chapter’ followed by a number or Roman numeral; a Chinese line must use the form ‘第…章’, ‘第…节’, or ‘第…回’. A subtitle may follow the number. Lines such as ‘Chapter One’, ‘Introduction’, and Markdown ‘# Heading’ are not recognized as chapter markers. If no supported heading is found, the book becomes one chapter. A short introduction before the first recognized heading becomes its own chapter under the book title. The preview is the authority: review it before export, and turn splitting off if the manuscript uses a different convention.
Uploaded TXT must decode as UTF-8; a UTF-8 byte-order mark is accepted. The converter rejects invalid byte sequences instead of silently replacing them with broken characters. For an older Windows or legacy-encoded file, reopen it in a text editor and save a UTF-8 copy first. Blank lines divide paragraphs, while a single newline inside a paragraph is kept as a line break. This preserves verse and manually formatted dialogue, but hard-wrapped prose may show shorter lines than intended. Join those lines in the editor if you want the reader to reflow each paragraph naturally. Literal angle brackets and ampersands are escaped as text, so pasted markup is not executed or interpreted as XHTML.
The title, optional author, and BCP 47 language tag are written into package.opf. The tool creates a local unique identifier and modification time, but does not invent an ISBN, publisher, rights statement, description, or accessibility claim. The result is a simple reflowable EPUB 3: it has no generated cover image, embedded illustrations, footnotes, styled quotations, or rich Markdown parsing. If you need semantic headings, links, and emphasis, prepare a structured DOCX manuscript or use a future Markdown workflow. File conversion alone cannot certify that a book meets a retailer's current submission rules.
The file is processed by Text to EPUB Converter within the current browser tab.
Add the manuscript to the editor, or choose a .txt file up to 4 MB. The file is decoded locally. If characters look wrong in your original editor, identify the source encoding and save as UTF-8 before importing. Remove private drafting notes and any chapter separators you do not want to publish.
Enter the reader-facing book title, author, and language, such as en or zh-CN. Leave splitting enabled for numbered chapter lines, or disable it for a single continuous chapter. Inspect the preview; if a chapter is missing, change its heading to a recognized full-line pattern. If a normal paragraph is mistaken for a heading, edit that line or use one-chapter mode.
Convert to a new .epub file, then open it in the EPUB viewer. Inspect the table of contents, first and last paragraph of each chapter, special characters, dialogue spacing, and long lines at different font sizes. Before distribution, use a dedicated EPUB validator and test the target reader or store workflow; this browser converter does not claim official EPUBCheck validation.

Paste or UTF-8 .txt · 4 MB maximum
Invalid UTF-8 bytes, empty text, and other file extensions are rejected. TXT has no reliable embedded encoding declaration, so the tool does not guess legacy encodings.
Numbered English or Chinese heading lines
Examples: ‘Chapter 12: Return’ and ‘第十二章 归途’. The one-chapter option avoids automatic splitting. At most 200 chapters can be exported.
Blank line = new paragraph
A single line break inside a paragraph remains a visible break. Adjust hard-wrapped source text before converting if that is not your intended layout.
New reflowable EPUB 3
Includes title, optional author, language, navigation, and XHTML text. No cover or media is synthesized; the browser tab's working text is cleared on refresh or close.
Direct answers about Text to EPUB Converter privacy, compatibility, and output.
Yes. The editor, UTF-8 decoding, chapter planning, and EPUB packaging run in the current browser tab. The site must load before you use it, but the tool does not send your manuscript, file name, book title, or author to a conversion service or analytics.
Splitting may be off, or no full line matched the supported numbered chapter patterns. For example, ‘Chapter 1: Arrival’ and ‘第一章 初见’ match, while ‘Introduction’ and ‘Chapter One’ do not. Check the chapter preview and change the source headings if you need a clickable multi-chapter contents list.
The upload reader accepts valid UTF-8 only. It fails visibly for invalid bytes, but text already damaged before saving cannot be repaired automatically. Open the original in an editor that knows its actual encoding, verify the characters, then save a fresh UTF-8 TXT.
Blank lines create separate XHTML paragraphs. A single newline within one paragraph becomes a break inside that paragraph. Reader software can choose its own fonts and margins, so line lengths and page breaks still vary. If your source was hard-wrapped at a fixed column, join the wrapped lines first.
No. This page handles plain text. Markdown markers and HTML tags are treated as literal characters rather than headings, links, or styled spans. That keeps text conversion predictable and prevents pasted markup from becoming executable content.
Yes. The new EPUB can be opened in the cover editor and metadata editor. A meaningful ISBN, copyright statement, and publication details should come from the rights holder; the converter does not fabricate them. Check the resulting EPUB again after each edit.
Treat it as a readable draft. Verify every chapter, navigation order, language, special characters, and rights; test the reading app and run dedicated EPUB validation. This tool does not replace editorial review, accessibility assessment, or a retailer's acceptance checks.
