Convert an EPUB to an audiobook, free
Drop a DRM-free EPUB and get an MP3 for every chapter. Covers and blank pages are skipped for you.
Or drop it here. PDF, EPUB, DOCX, TXT or Markdown.
Or paste text instead
The first time, your browser fetches the voice (about 90 MB) and keeps it. After that it starts in seconds.
How it works
- Your file is opened in the browser and split into chapters, using the book's own table of contents when it has one.
- Untick the parts you do not want, like the index or acknowledgements, and rename chapters if you like.
- Each chapter becomes its own MP3, ready for any audiobook or podcast player. The whole book also downloads as one file.
- No account, no watermark, no limit on length, and nothing is uploaded.
Questions
Is it really free? Yes. Your own computer makes the audio, so there is no account, no monthly hour limit and nothing to pay.
Is my book uploaded? No. The file is opened and read aloud inside your browser. It never reaches our servers.
How long does it take? It depends on your computer, because your computer does the reading. A recent laptop handles a chapter in a few minutes; an older or busy one takes longer, so start with a chapter or two. Tick Graphics card mode if you see it: it is usually much quicker. The page shows the time left, and you can stop and carry on later in the same tab.
Which files work? PDF, EPUB, Word (DOCX), TXT and Markdown, or pasted text. Scanned PDFs that are only pictures of pages have no text to read; run them through text recognition first.
Can I keep the tab in the background? Yes, but keep it open and the computer awake. Some browsers slow down background tabs, so a visible tab finishes sooner.
Which languages? English, with American and British voices. More languages are planned.
