Best results come from DOCX. PDFs are reconstructed client-side with intentional writing space, relative type size, font traits, paragraphs, tables, and heading guesses; images and scan-only pages stay inline automatically.

Auto · waiting for PDF

Auto keeps ordinary documents reflowable and switches graphic-heavy PDFs to a fixed-layout EPUB 3 facsimile. Fixed layout preserves exact positions, fonts, sidebars, image wraps, and writing space, but its text cannot be resized or edited like a normal ebook.

Your Kobo preview

Choose the device you read on

Defaults to Kobo Libra Colour

Your converted document opens in this device view after upload. PDF layout and typography reflow to this screen; detected DOCX/PDF images are optimized for it and stay inline while you edit.

Published screen resolution, diagonal, and body proportions are used. These controls affect preview only; exact line breaks can still vary with Kobo firmware and fonts.

Workflow
  1. Import a document (DOCX, PDF, TXT, or Markdown).
  2. Keep Auto, or choose exact fixed pages versus editable reflowable text.
  3. Choose your Kobo; detected DOCX/PDF images are optimized for it automatically.
  4. For Reflowable, edit directly in the selected Kobo view and use Diff before export.
  5. For Fixed, page through the locked source-faithful Kobo preview, then export.
2. Preview & edit

Spot-check, then export below

Edit opens after import using the Kobo selected under Import. Diff marks words, formatting, image movement/resizing, tables, and placement directly on that same paginated screen.

4. EPUB export

Download EPUB

Download always pulls the latest Edit/HTML body first, then builds the EPUB. Switch to Diff for the in-Kobo red/green changes and jump list.

Device specification sources

Profiles use Rakuten Kobo’s published technical specifications for Clara BW, Clara Colour, Libra Colour, Sage, and Elipsa 2E. Screen placement inside the bezel is estimated because Kobo publishes body and display dimensions, not bezel offsets.
