⏳ Checking your EPUB…

Why check your EPUB before publishing?

A single structural error can get your ebook rejected by Amazon KDP, Apple Books or Kobo — or worse, accepted but displayed badly on readers' devices, hurting your reviews. This free EPUB checker catches the most common problems authors miss before they cost you a launch.

What this EPUB checker tests

We validate the core structure of your EPUB file: the required mimetype and container.xml files, the OPF package and manifest, your spine reading order, the navigation document (table of contents), embedded images and fonts, internal links, and your metadata (title, author, language and identifier). These are the elements retailers check when you upload.

EPUB checker vs. official EPUBCheck

The official EPUBCheck is a Java tool that runs deep schema validation. This browser-based checker focuses on the practical, high-impact issues that actually cause rejections and display problems — fast, free, and private. For a guaranteed retailer-ready file, our team uses full professional validation as part of every EPUB conversion.

Frequently asked questions

What does an EPUB checker do?

It validates your ebook's internal structure — required files, table of contents, images, metadata and links — so your book is accepted by retailers and displays correctly for readers.

Is this EPUB checker really free?

Yes — completely free, no signup. Your EPUB is checked privately in your browser and never uploaded anywhere.

Will it fix my EPUB errors?

This tool finds and explains the issues. If you'd like them fixed, our EPUB conversion service delivers a clean, validated, retailer-ready file.

Is my manuscript safe?

Completely. The check runs entirely in your browser. Your file is never uploaded, stored, or seen by anyone.
