FB2 to PDF - Free Online Browser Tool

Convert FictionBook (FB2) e-books into PDF documents, full Unicode retained.

FB2 stores a novel as XML with semantic tags, so a title is marked as a title rather than merely being large. This reads those tags, which is why verse and epigraphs do not run into the prose around them.

This fb2 to pdf utility runs completely inside your web browser. Your document is opened locally and processed on your own device using JavaScript and WebAssembly, so your file is never uploaded to any server. There is no signup, no watermark and no limit on how many documents you can handle.

  • 100% client-side - files never leave your device
  • Instant processing, no upload wait
  • Works on desktop, tablet and mobile
  • Free forever, no account required

How to Use the FB2 to PDF Tool

Four steps, and the whole thing runs locally on your own device.

  1. Add the FB2 file

    Choose an .fb2 e-book from wherever you keep your library.

  2. Choose the page size

    A4 is the brighter choice for screen reading, while US Letter matches the paper used in North America.

  3. Walk the semantic tags

    Titles, paragraphs, verses, epigraphs and citations each close their own block, so the shape of the book is kept.

  4. Save the volume

    The book is typeset with page numbers and saved onto your own machine.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are Cyrillic and other alphabets supported?

Yes, the text is read as Unicode, so a Russian or Polish novel arrives with its characters intact rather than as rows of question marks.

How are verses and epigraphs separated?

Each closes as its own block, so a poem or a quotation does not merge into the paragraph that follows it on the page.

Do footnotes appear at the bottom of the page?

No. A note stays wherever it sits in the flow of the text, so it is not reproduced as a footer at the bottom of the sheet.

Can an FB2.ZIP archive be used directly?

Not directly. Unpack the archive first and bring the .fb2 file itself, because the converter reads one XML document at a time.

Is there a limit on how long a book can be?

No fixed limit applies, and a full-length novel is typeset in the time it takes the browser to walk through its text.
