How to convert EPUB to AZW3

  1. Add your EPUB e-books

    Drop EPUB files onto the box above, or click it to choose them. ToAny reads the file's contents to detect the type, so a wrong extension does not matter.

  2. AZW3 is already chosen

    Press Convert and confirm the upload. The file is sent to the ToAny conversion server, converted to AZW3 and removed afterwards.

  3. Download

    Save the AZW3, or download everything as one ZIP if you converted several files.

Why ToAny

  • Honest about uploads

    Browsers cannot convert EPUB to AZW3 reliably, so this pair runs on our server. You are asked before anything is sent, and the page says so plainly.

  • Removed afterwards

    The uploaded file and the result are deleted once the conversion has finished. Nobody looks at them and they are not used for anything else.

  • No account

    No sign-up, no email address and no watermark on the result.

EPUB to AZW3: what to expect

EPUB needs an e-reader app and does not print with a fixed layout. AZW3 is the native format of modern Kindles. EPUB is at home in e-books that adapt to any screen size; AZW3 is the usual choice for books on Kindle.

EPUB vs AZW3

EPUB

EPUB e-book

EPUB is the open standard for e-books. Text reflows to fit the screen and the reader chooses the font and size. Almost every e-reader other than older Kindles opens it directly.

Kindle e-book (AZW3)

AZW3, also called Kindle Format 8, replaced MOBI on Kindles in 2011 and added proper HTML5 and CSS styling. Only Amazon's readers and Calibre open it.

Questions

Is my EPUB file uploaded?

Yes, for this conversion. Browsers cannot convert EPUB to AZW3 reliably, so after you confirm, the file is uploaded over an encrypted connection to the ToAny conversion server, converted automatically and deleted once the conversion has finished. Most other conversions on ToAny run in your browser and upload nothing.

Is anything lost when converting EPUB to AZW3?

Text is kept. Formatting carries over only as far as AZW3 supports it.

Can I convert several EPUB files at once?

Yes. Add as many as you like, convert them together and download each result or all of them as one ZIP.

How do I convert EPUB to AZW3 on Windows, Mac, iPhone or Android?

The steps are the same everywhere because ToAny runs in the web browser: open this page in a current version of Chrome, Edge, Safari or Firefox, add the EPUB file, press Convert and save the AZW3. There is nothing to install.

Is there a file size limit?

Yes. Files sent to the conversion server are capped in size, and the page tells you when a file is too large to upload.
