What it does
WordToEPUB converts word-processed documents into EPUB and also offers HTML, Kindle, and EPUB-to-Word workflows. Its richest integration is with Microsoft Word.
Prepare document structure in the word processor first, using Word's accessibility checker where available, then create the EPUB. Source structure matters for navigation and reading behavior. The accompanying EPUB-to-Word route is useful when an alternate-format team needs to add descriptions or revise content in a familiar editor before publication.
WordToEPUB is free Windows software. It can run from Word's ribbon, a DOCX file's Explorer menu, or a batch of documents. Simple mode suits an ordinary EPUB export; Advanced mode adds styling, language, metadata and cover controls. Documents authored in Google Docs need to be exported as DOCX for this workflow. Use Word's accessibility checker during preparation and the EPUBCheck/Ace integrations to review the exported publication.
