How to convert FB2 to EPUB

  1. Add your FB2 e-books

    Drop FB2 (FictionBook) 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. EPUB is already chosen

    Press Convert. There is nothing else to set. The work happens in this tab.

  3. Download

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

Why ToAny

  • Free, without an account

    No sign-up, no email address and no watermark. Add several files and download them together as a ZIP.

FB2 to EPUB: what to expect

FB2 does not open on Kindle or in Apple Books. EPUB reflows to fit any screen and opens in most e-reader apps. FB2 is at home in e-books, especially from Russian-language libraries; EPUB is the usual choice for e-books that adapt to any screen size.

The text encoding named in the file's XML declaration is used. Embedded PNG, JPEG, GIF and WebP pictures are kept; links other than web and email addresses are dropped. Chapters are cut at the headings and pictures are kept; fonts and page design are not part of the result, so the e-reader chooses how it looks.

FB2 vs EPUB

FB2

FictionBook e-book

FB2 is an XML e-book format that separates a book's structure from its looks: sections, poems, epigraphs and notes are marked up, and the reader decides the layout. Images sit inside the file as base64 text. It is very common in Russian-language libraries.

Opens in FBReader, Calibre, PocketBook and most e-reader apps; not Kindle

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.

Opens in Apple Books, Kobo, Google Play Books, Calibre and, since 2022, Send to Kindle

Questions

Are my e-books uploaded anywhere?

No. The FB2 to EPUB conversion runs inside your browser, on your own phone or computer. The file is not sent to ToAny or to anyone else.

Is anything lost when converting FB2 to EPUB?

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

Can I convert several FB2 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 FB2 to EPUB 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 FB2 file, press Convert and save the EPUB. There is nothing to install.

Is there a file size limit?

Yes. Files up to 150 MB are accepted; a larger one is refused with a message. Beyond that the limit is your device's memory, since nothing is uploaded; a computer copes with large files better than a phone.
