EPUB to FB2 Conversion FAQ
How do I convert an EPUB file to FB2?
+
Upload your EPUB file using the picker above and the converter detects the source type and runs the EPUB -> FB2 pipeline. The result downloads automatically when conversion completes; no account is needed for one-off conversions. EPUB is the open ebook standard from the International Digital Publishing Forum, now maintained by the W3C. FB2 is FictionBook, an XML ebook format created in Russia around 2004 and still dominant in Russian-language libraries.
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.
Why does my EPUB file refuse to convert?
+
DRM, in almost every case. A protected EPUB is encrypted and tied to an account, and no converter can decrypt it — ours included. Files you created yourself, or bought from a DRM-free store, convert without any trouble at all. EPUB has no fixed pagination, so page numbers are meaningless, and complex layout — tables, equations, multi-column — degrades badly.
Is the EPUB to FB2 converter free?
+
Yes — basic EPUB -> FB2 conversion is free with no registration. Premium adds higher per-file size limits, more parallel batch workers, and removes ads.
How big an EPUB file can I convert to FB2?
+
Free accounts: up to 100 MB per EPUB file. Premium: typically 1 GB per file, depending on the EPUB source type. Very large files get split into chunks server-side when the FB2 format permits.
Will conversion change the content of my EPUB?
+
Conversion preserves every piece of information that both EPUB and FB2 can represent. Features the FB2 format cannot store (vector data in raster output, formulas in plain-text output, embedded fonts in image output) are rasterized or stripped — the result page flags any feature loss explicitly. An EPUB is a ZIP archive of XHTML and CSS with a manifest — essentially a small website packaged as a book. An FB2 is a single XML file with the entire book, its metadata and its base64-embedded images inline.
Can I convert many EPUB files to FB2 at once?
+
Yes — drop multiple EPUB files into the upload zone and they queue in parallel. Premium has more parallel workers; on a 50-file batch this is the difference between minutes and seconds.
Does the EPUB to FB2 converter work on phones / tablets?
+
Yes — the UI is responsive and the conversion pipeline runs server-side, so mobile devices upload-then-download just like desktops. iOS and Android browser file pickers (camera roll, Files app) work end-to-end without an app.
Which browsers does the EPUB to FB2 converter support?
+
Chrome, Firefox, Safari (15+), Edge, and Opera. The converter uses a plain `<input type="file">` upload — no WebAssembly or PWA dependencies — so even older browsers convert EPUB to FB2 successfully.
Are my EPUB files kept private?
+
Yes — uploaded EPUB files are processed in isolated workers and deleted within minutes. We never view, retain, or share content. See /privacy/ for the data-retention window. EPUB reflows text to any screen size and any font size, which is what makes it readable on a phone as well as an e-reader.
What if the FB2 download does not start automatically?
+
Disable any pop-up blocker, then click the download button manually. The result link stays active for 24 hours, so if your network fails mid-download you can re-trigger from the result page without re-uploading the EPUB.
How long does EPUB to FB2 conversion take?
+
Typically seconds for small files, a minute or two for files near the size cap. The server-side pipeline runs on dedicated workers — your laptop CPU is not the bottleneck. FB2’s single-file XML structure is trivially machine-readable and carries far richer bibliographic metadata than EPUB. FB2 is barely supported outside Russian-language readers, and Kindle and Kobo hardware ignore it entirely.
