TXT (plain text) is the most basic format — no formatting, no table of contents, no metadata. Putting a 500,000-word novel in TXT is like stacking all furniture in a warehouse — everything is there, but you cannot live in it.
Converting to EPUB gives you:
Our converter automatically detects chapter separators in TXT files (common ones include "Chapter X", "Chapter X", "---", etc.) and generates independent EPUB chapter files for each. This maintains file modularity while ensuring navigation completeness.
You can also manually specify chapter separators if your file uses unusual formatting.
TXT files may use GBK, UTF-8, ISO-8859-1, or other encodings. Our converter automatically detects encoding and converts correctly, avoiding Chinese garbled text issues. For files with incorrect encoding, an encoding selection interface is provided.
Our converter performs intelligent processing:
| Feature | TXT | EPUB |
|---|---|---|
| Navigation | None | Clickable TOC |
| Metadata | None | Title, Author, ISBN |
| Typography | Plain | Headings, paragraphs, spacing |
| Device Support | Any text editor | All e-readers |
| Night Mode | No | Yes |
| Font Size | Fixed | Adjustable |
| File Size | Small | Small + metadata (+5-10%) |
Converter automatically detects chapter markers (such as "Chapter X", "Chapter X", "---" separator lines) to generate TOC. You can also manually specify chapter separators.
EPUB is essentially a ZIP package containing metadata and navigation info. Compared to TXT, it usually increases only 5-10% in size — completely acceptable.

Deepen your understanding with expert conversion guides:
Got a plain .txt file — your own manuscript, a Project Gutenberg download, or public-domain text — that you want to read on a Kindle, Kobo, or phone without squinting at a wall of unbroken text? A TXT file has no chapters, no table of contents, and no structure. Converting it to EPUB gives you a proper ebook with a navigable TOC. This guide shows the shortest path and how to get clean chapter breaks.
Are you tired of dealing with complex ebook formats that don't work on your preferred devices?

BookConv simplifies this process, allowing you to transform your library into the exact format you need in seconds.
