EPUB to TIFF Conversion FAQ
What page size does a reflowable book render at?
+
Because EPUB is reflowable XHTML in a zip — text re-lays-out to any screen width, which is why e-readers prefer it, there is no fixed page to reproduce — so we render at a chosen virtual page size and font size, and paginate from there. Change either and the number of pages changes; that is a property of the format, not of the converter.
Will the text be selectable in the TIFF?
+
No. These are pictures of pages, so the text becomes pixels. Convert the book to PDF or a document format instead if you need it to stay searchable.
Should I use a lossy or lossless target?
+
Lossless (PNG, TIFF) for pages of text — lossy compression halos sharp black glyphs on white in a way that is very visible at reading sizes. Lossy is acceptable for photographic covers where the file size matters more.
Can I render only some pages?
+
No. Every page of the book is rendered as its own TIFF, and you keep the ones you need. A reflowable book has no fixed pages anyway, so the page count depends on the layout used for the render.
Do embedded fonts render correctly?
+
Fonts embedded in the book are used for the render, so the result matches how a reader displays it. Where a font is only named and unavailable, the closest match is substituted and the pagination shifts slightly.
Does it work on DRM-protected books?
+
No. Protected files cannot be opened and will fail with an error. Only DRM-free books can be rendered.
Can I batch several books?
+
Several files in one job need a paid plan. Free use is one file per conversion, one conversion an hour. On a paid plan you can add several files to one job, then download each result on its own or all of them in one ZIP.
Is my book private during conversion?
+
Yes. Uploaded EPUB files are processed on our own conversion servers, no person reviews them, and they are never shared. The upload and the converted TIFF are both deleted automatically about 24 hours after the conversion, which leaves time to download the result. See /privacy/ for the full policy.
