How it works
1Upload your manuscriptOne DOCX, one Markdown file, or a zip of Markdown plus the images it references.
2Structure is resolvedHeading styles become chapters and sections. If there are none, chapter breaks are detected from candidate lines in the text - and the report says so.
3Download a validated EPUBA store-ready EPUB 3 with TOC, images, and footnotes, plus a conversion report listing everything converted, approximated, or dropped.

Questions
The output is a standard EPUB 3 package with a compatibility toc.ncx, and every book is structurally validated before delivery - the container, package file, navigation, manifest, and spine are all checked. If validation fails, the job fails and your credits are refunded instead of handing you a broken file.
From your heading styles first: Heading 1 and Heading 2 in Word, # and ## in Markdown, become chapters and sections deterministically - no AI involved. Only when a manuscript has no usable headings at all do we run a single AI pass over candidate break lines ("Chapter 7", ALL-CAPS lines, *** separators) to place the breaks, and the conversion report tells you whether that pass was used.
Embedded images are carried into the book, and Word or Markdown footnotes become proper EPUB 3 footnotes with backlinks. Tables are flattened to text - EPUB reflow handles complex tables poorly - and anything approximated or dropped is listed in the conversion report so nothing disappears silently.
Yes. Conversion runs on our own servers, your manuscript is never used to train any model, and files are deleted after the job completes. Most conversions use no AI at all - with clear headings the entire pipeline is deterministic code.
