DOC to EPUB Conversion FAQ
How do I turn a DOC manuscript into a publishable EPUB ebook?
+
Upload the DOC and the converter parses heading structure to detect chapters, then builds a reflowable EPUB container with one chapter per ebook section, a generated TOC, and cover-art slot. The result is ready to upload to Kindle KDP, Apple Books, or Kobo.
Can I still edit the content after converting DOC to EPUB?
+
Not the way you edit the DOC. The EPUB is a delivery format: it fixes the layout so it renders identically everywhere, which is exactly why it resists editing. Keep the DOC as the working copy and regenerate the EPUB whenever the content changes — round-tripping back out of EPUB always loses something. EPUB is the open ebook standard from the International Digital Publishing Forum, now maintained by the W3C.
Will the converted book keep its cover, chapters and table of contents?
+
Yes where both formats can express them. Cover art, chapter divisions and a navigable table of contents are structural metadata, so they carry across rather than being flattened into the text. Footnotes and index entries are the fragile parts — they degrade into inline text on targets with no anchor mechanism.
Is the older binary Office format still a safe bet?
+
It opens everywhere, but it is a compatibility choice rather than a good one. The binary formats predate the XML packages, carry macro payloads that many mail servers strip on sight, and are being steadily deprecated by Microsoft itself. Use them when a specific piece of old software demands them, and the XML format otherwise. EPUB has no fixed pagination, so page numbers are meaningless, and complex layout — tables, equations, multi-column — degrades badly.
Does the converter auto-detect chapters in my DOC?
+
Yes — Heading 1 / Heading 2 styles in the DOC become EPUB chapters by default. If your DOC uses inconsistent headings, the advanced "chapter marker" option lets you specify a regex (e.g. `^Chapter \d+`) to override the heuristic.
Will the EPUB have a clickable table of contents?
+
Yes — detected chapters auto-populate the EPUB's NCX / nav.xhtml so every reader displays a proper chapter list. Apple Books, Kobo, and Calibre render it on the contents page; Kindle uses it for the "Go To" menu.
Can I add a cover image when converting DOC to EPUB?
+
Yes — drop a cover image (JPG / PNG, ideally 1600×2400) alongside the DOC in the upload, and we embed it in the EPUB as the official cover. Retailer storefronts pick up this image automatically when you upload the EPUB.
How do I set metadata (author, title, ISBN) on the EPUB?
+
The metadata form appears after upload — fill in title, author, language, publisher, and ISBN, and we write them into the EPUB's OPF block. KDP / Apple Books / Kobo all read this metadata when ingesting your EPUB.
What about images and figures in the DOC?
+
Inline images in the DOC (Word picture insertions, HTML `<img>`, PDF embedded figures) are extracted and re-embedded in the EPUB at the same paragraph anchor. PDF vector graphics are rasterized at 300 DPI before embedding.
Does the EPUB keep my DOC typography (italics, smart quotes, drop caps)?
+
Italics, bold, smart quotes, em-dashes, and en-dashes all round-trip. CSS-style drop caps are added via EPUB CSS where supported (EPUB 3, AZW3). Older readers fall back to plain capitalization — the manuscript content is unchanged.
Can I make the EPUB compatible with both Kindle and other readers?
+
EPUB works on every reader except older Kindles. For maximum compatibility, generate EPUB here and then convert to AZW3 / KF8 via /epub-to-azw3/ — most authors ship both formats. KDP also accepts EPUB directly and converts internally.
Is my DOC manuscript private during EPUB conversion?
+
Yes — uploaded DOC files (especially unpublished manuscripts) are processed in isolated workers and deleted within minutes. We never read, retain, or train on manuscript content.
