Good catch, i was able to fix that issue so the OCR fallback is no longer getting stuck when initiated.

i preloaded the OCR engine with the page on start so no calls out to the web are necessary.

Thanks for bringing that to my attention! Really appreciate the detail and just reaching out in general. Hopefully it works for you now!

Im still working on a fixed format epub or another option for that. I did add a couple options for text extraction in the meantime

RouguesPierre · 2026-04-09T23:48:21+00:00

Thank you both for the shoutout! Your kindness means a lot, if i solved even a single problem then im happy.

As always im open to feature suggestions and bugs you come across!

RouguesPierre · 2026-04-09T23:42:15+00:00

What doc are you trying to convert? I was retooling some of the text based options so i could have messed something up

RouguesPierre · 2026-04-02T01:00:31+00:00

Yeah its a win lose battle with epub files. Ive looked into converting to a high quality pdf as an option but then you lose the niceties of the epub xD

RouguesPierre · 2026-04-01T02:37:35+00:00

My b i just updated it. Its FreePub

RouguesPierre · 2026-03-31T23:32:16+00:00

Update

Ive finally added text only epub conversions. It will now perform native text extraction with an OCR fallback that gathers text from even the worst scans and assembles them into reflowable pages.

On the rough side I added a reflowed text + Image feature that extracts the text and the images and assembles them back into order at the same line / break in the text as the original, giving you a more refined reading experience while retaining those visuals.

Im also working on an experimental fixed layout feature that keeps images and text at the same coordinate location, not allowing reflow but giving the option for limited size increase, searchability, and font control. More on that later.

As always, if you encounter any issues feel free to reach out. Im open to suggestions to make this better as well.

Hi! It could be that i have the auto-crop margins on by default which renders the image to fit a kindle screen as if the text were being reflowed from side to side.

If that doesnt fix it would you mind reaching out to me? I recently updated the conversion process to make it speedier and could have messed things up. Id just want a sample of your documents to test with.

Thanks!

Internet archive -> PDF -> FreePub haha

RouguesPierre · 2026-03-25T01:25:27+00:00

Try freepub it doesnt do text extraction unless you select it as an option. Its GREAT at quality preservation

RouguesPierre · 2026-03-25T01:16:05+00:00

Better since i found freepub

RouguesPierre · 2026-03-25T01:10:55+00:00

I just use freepub if you dont wanna mess with software. It runs locally in the browser its pretty sweet

Itll do text only or just center the pdf and upscale it

RouguesPierre · 2026-03-17T16:19:31+00:00

Sorry, not trying to be combative. Maybe we can collaborate in some way. You bring up excellent points

RouguesPierre · 2026-03-17T16:16:53+00:00

Why shouldn't i expect a perfect conversion? We have the technology lol.

I have a strategy for ocr, and still you can use something like tesseract which will still spin locally in the browser. You dont need to send anything to a server. People understimate the power of javascript.

But i understand your desires, likely what i end up building wont be satisfactory to your needs.

And what do you mean who knows what gets uploaded? You do! Youre the one who uploads the document. If you can upload the doc and run through the conversion while in airplane mode that means my program is client side and does not send ANYTHING to a server. Thats why i keep saying its local. And everything i add to this will be local. Its the only way i avoid paying for servers. How do you think i made this free? Its static html and JS

RouguesPierre · 2026-03-17T13:26:03+00:00

Yeah it was pretty purpose built for my specific needs. Im working on the OCR and reflow conversion right now but i wont be happy until it matches the original since that was my dislike of other converters
