What happens to my files after converting a PDF to EPUB?

Updated:

EpubCC deletes the EPUB 1 hour after your first download, or 24 hours after it's ready, whichever comes first; the original PDF is deleted as soon as the whole book is converted, or 2 hours after its last conversion. Your files are never published or used for training, and “Delete now” removes everything immediately.

The timeline

  • Unfinished upload: 60 minutes after the last piece arrived.
  • Your original PDF: As soon as the whole book is converted, or 2 hours after its last conversion.
  • The EPUB: 1 hour after your first download, or 24 hours after it's ready, whichever comes first.
  • Everything: Immediately, when you press “Delete now”.

What you see

  • Every conversion page shows a live countdown to the moment the EPUB is deleted.
  • “Delete now” removes the EPUB, the original PDF and any other conversion of the same book at once.
  • If you ask for an email when a conversion is ready, the address is used for that message and then deleted.

What we never do

  • Publish your files or show them to anyone else.
  • Use them to train models, or add them to our benchmark, without your explicit permission.
  • Send your file names, emails or the content of your files to our error reporting.
