Last updated 2026-06-15

If Chiify converted your manuscript, you can download the finished EPUB — useful for proofing on your own device or keeping a copy.

Where to get it

After conversion completes and you have a finished EPUB on the book, use the download option on the book's files area to save the EPUB.

Why download it

Proof it on a real e-reader or app (Apple Books, a Kindle device via Send-to-Kindle, etc.) before publishing.
Keep a backup of the exact file that ships to stores.
Check it in another EPUB reader after you preview it on Chiify.

Tip

If the download looks wrong, the fix is almost always to re-upload a clean DOCX and let Chiify rebuild it — see I don't have an EPUB and common EPUB errors.

How do I upload an audiobook to Chiify?

Upload your chapter audio files (MP3 or M4A), a cover, and metadata; Chiify reviews and distributes to audiobook stores. Here's the full process.

Why does my EPUB need a clickable table of contents?

Stores require a clickable navigation TOC so readers can jump between chapters. Chiify builds one automatically when you use heading styles in your DOCX.

Can I schedule a pre-order or set a release date?

Yes — you can schedule a future release so stores list your book for pre-order and launch it automatically on the day. Here's how to plan it.

What is EPUB validation and how do I fix EPUB errors?

EPUB validation (EPUBCheck) confirms your file meets the standard stores require. Chiify validates and auto-heals on upload; here's how to clear errors.
