  1. Upload your Markdown (.md) file by dragging it onto the converter.
  2. Configure ebook metadata including title, author, cover image, and chapter headings.

Practical Tips

  • Use # Heading 1 for chapter titles. The converter uses top-level headings to create chapter breaks and generate a table of contents automatically.
  • Add a cover image. EPUBs with cover art look more professional in e-reader libraries. Upload a cover image during the configuration step.
  • Keep formatting simple. Markdown's limited formatting (bold, italic, lists, links) translates perfectly to EPUB. Avoid overly complex layouts.

Can I add a table of contents?

Yes. MyPDF automatically generates a navigable table of contents from your Markdown headings.

Does the converter support images?

Yes. Images referenced in your Markdown are embedded in the EPUB. Use relative paths and ensure image files are accessible at upload time.

Can I convert the EPUB to Kindle format?

Yes. After creating your EPUB, use MyPDF's EPUB to AZW3 converter to produce a Kindle-compatible file.
