HTML to EPUB Converter

Saving web articles for offline reading shouldn't require technical tools or manual cleanup. Paste any URL into DropKind and it extracts the article content, strips the clutter, and converts it to a clean, properly formatted EPUB. Download the file directly, or have it delivered to your Kindle.

Create your DropKind account

Paste a URL or upload a file

Copy the address of any web page and paste it into DropKind — or drag in an HTML file directly. News articles, blog posts, documentation, essays — anything with readable content.

DropKind extracts and converts

We fetch the page, identify the main article content, pull out the text, headings, and images, and strip everything else — ads, navigation, popups, sidebars, cookie banners. The result is a clean, well-structured EPUB.

Download or send to Kindle

Download the EPUB file from your upload page. Or connect your Kindle and have it delivered wirelessly — your choice.

You don't need a Kindle to use DropKind as an HTML to EPUB converter. Just download the file and open it in any EPUB reader.

What DropKind extracts from a web page

DropKind identifies the primary content area of the page and extracts the article text, headings, images, lists, code blocks, and tables. Navigation bars, sidebars, footers, ads, related-links widgets, newsletter signup forms, comment sections, cookie consent banners — all stripped. The output is a clean, linear EPUB that reads well in any e-reader app or device. Formatting is preserved where it matters: bold, italic, links, block quotes, and heading hierarchy all carry over.

Use cases for HTML to EPUB conversion

Save long articles to read offline on a plane or commute. Archive blog posts before they disappear. Collect technical documentation into your e-reader library. Convert newsletter issues into a format you can highlight and annotate. Build a personal reading collection from web content you actually want to keep. EPUB works on Kindle, Kobo, Apple Books, and every other major e-reader.

Better than browser 'Save As'

Your browser's 'Save As' produces a messy HTML file full of scripts, stylesheets, navigation elements, and ad markup. It's a snapshot of the entire page, not the article. DropKind does what you actually want: it extracts just the content and produces a properly structured EPUB with clean typography, working images, and correct chapter markup. No manual cleanup required.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does it work with paywalled or login-protected pages?

Not with a pasted URL — DropKind's server can only access what's publicly visible. But the Chrome extension captures the page as you see it in your browser, so if you're logged in and can read the content, it gets captured and converted.

What happens to images?

Images are downloaded and embedded directly in the EPUB file. They'll display inline, in the right position, at a size appropriate for e-readers. Decorative images, icons, and ad graphics are stripped during extraction.

Does it handle multi-page articles?

DropKind processes the URL you paste — one URL, one EPUB. If an article is split across multiple pages, you can paste each page URL separately and get individual EPUBs.

Can I just download the EPUB without connecting a Kindle?

Yes. You don't need a Kindle at all. Paste the URL, wait for conversion, and download the EPUB from your upload page. Open it in Apple Books, Kobo, Calibre, or any EPUB reader.

How is this different from Calibre's web-to-EPUB?

Calibre is powerful but requires desktop software, configuration, and some technical knowledge. DropKind is a web app — paste a URL and get a clean EPUB. No installation, no recipes, no setup. The extraction and formatting happen automatically.
