FAQ
What is FB2?
FictionBook 2.0, an XML-based e-book format popular with e-readers (especially in Eastern Europe) — it stores a book as structured text with metadata, rather than a fixed visual layout like PDF.
What happens to the original PDF layout and images?
They're not preserved — this extracts the real text from each page and wraps it into FB2's section/paragraph structure, one section per PDF page. It's meant for getting readable text into an e-reader-friendly format, not a visual replica.
Will this work on a scanned PDF?
No — if a PDF has no selectable text layer (a scanned/image-only document), there's no text to extract. This tool works on PDFs that already have real, selectable text.
Is my file uploaded anywhere?
No — extraction and conversion happen entirely in your browser. Nothing is sent to a server.
