How to convert azw to epub file

Source format: AZW

AZW is Amazon’s proprietary eBook format used in the Kindle ecosystem. It is commonly found on Kindle devices and in Kindle apps. AZW files may contain text, images, bookmarks, and Kindle-specific formatting, and many purchased books are protected by DRM.

Target format: EPUB

EPUB is a widely supported open eBook format used by many reading apps, eReaders, and publishing tools. It is reflowable, works well on different screen sizes, and is generally the best choice when you want a Kindle book to be readable outside Amazon’s ecosystem.

How to convert AZW to EPUB

The most practical desktop tool for this conversion is Calibre, a free eBook manager and converter. It can convert many .azw files to EPUB, but only if the file is not DRM-protected.

  1. Install Calibre on your computer.
  2. Open Calibre and click Add books to import the .azw file.
  3. Select the book in your library.
  4. Click Convert books.
  5. Choose EPUB as the output format.
  6. Adjust metadata, layout, or styling options if needed.
  7. Click OK to start the conversion.
  8. After conversion, right-click the book and choose Save to disk, or open the EPUB from Calibre’s library folder.

If you want a no-install option, you can also convert the file on 101convert.com for free.

Notes on quality and limitations

DRM is the main limitation when converting AZW to EPUB. If the AZW file is protected by Amazon DRM, standard conversion tools will not be able to process it. Only DRM-free files can be converted normally. Even with a successful conversion, some Kindle-specific formatting, embedded fonts, or complex layouts may not transfer perfectly to EPUB.

For best results, open the converted file in an EPUB reader such as Calibre Viewer, Apple Books, or Adobe Digital Editions to check chapter breaks, images, and formatting.
