AZW3 to PDF converter features

A4 or US Letter
Pick a paper size before converting so the pages match how you print or archive the book.

How to convert AZW3 to PDF
Upload the AZW3 file
Drop a DRM-free .azw3 ebook, or choose it from your device. Files up to 40 MB are accepted.

Click Convert to PDF, check the title and opening text, then download the document.
Tips for AZW3 to PDF
- 01
Start with a DRM-free file
Books downloaded from Kindle with encryption will not open here. Use a copy that is already DRM-free.
- 02
Match the paper you print on
Choose A4 or US Letter before converting if you plan to print the PDF.
- 03
Check the excerpt
After conversion, read the short preview. If the opening is empty or garbled, the book may use a script this PDF font cannot draw.
- 04
Keep long books under the page cap
Very long ebooks stop at 1,200 PDF pages so the browser does not run out of memory.
Great for
Reading outside Kindle
Open the book in a PDF reader when you do not want the Kindle app.
Printing a chapter set
A4 or Letter pages are easier to print than a reflowable Kindle file.
Archiving a personal copy
Keep a PDF next to the original AZW3 for devices that do not read Kindle files.
Sharing a DRM-free ebook
Send a PDF to someone who can open documents but does not have a Kindle.

Private by default

Selectable text
Latin-script books become a text PDF you can search, rather than a single long screenshot.
