I don't have an EPUB — what can I do?
No EPUB? No problem. Upload a Word DOCX (or PDF) and Chiify converts it to a retail-ready EPUB 3 for free — you preview and approve before it ships.

You do not need an EPUB to publish on Chiify. Upload what you have and we convert it for free.
Just upload your document
Chiify accepts DOCX, DOC, RTF, ODT, TXT, and PDF. Upload any of these as your manuscript and we convert it to a clean EPUB 3 automatically — the format every major store expects.
- DOCX gives the best result. Word documents carry clean headings and paragraph structure, which convert beautifully. If you can export to DOCX, do that.
- PDF works too, but it is a fixed-layout, print-first format, so reflow is best-effort. Always preview it carefully.
Preview before you commit
After conversion, open the preview to read your book exactly as readers will. If it looks right, click Use this EPUB. If a PDF came out messy, re-upload a DOCX instead. See How to format a manuscript for clean conversion.
Why this matters
A clean EPUB is what gets your book accepted at Amazon, Apple, Kobo, Google Play, and the libraries. Chiify also validates with EPUBCheck and auto-fixes common structural problems, so you do not have to wrestle with the technical side.
Conversion is free on every plan.
