What does FB2 to PDF do?

It parses FictionBook XML files — sections, verse, epigraphs and embedded base64 images — and typesets each book into a paginated PDF with chapter headings and page numbers.

Can I convert several FB2 files at once?

Yes. Drop up to 20 .fb2 or .fb2.zip files and every book converts with the same settings — one PDF per book.

What does the quality selector change?

It caps embedded image resolution: Low is 72 DPI (smallest file), Medium is 150 DPI, High is 300 DPI (print quality). Text is always vector and unaffected.

Are .fb2.zip files supported?

Yes. A zipped FB2 is unzipped and converted automatically — no need to extract it first.

Is my library uploaded anywhere?

No. Parsing and rendering run entirely in your browser — the files never leave your device.

Are images and the cover preserved?

Yes. Images stored as base64 binaries in the FB2 are embedded in place, and the book's coverpage image becomes the title page.

About FB2 to PDF

FictionBook, Typeset for Paper

FB2 (FictionBook) is the XML-based e-book format that dominates Russian and Eastern European digital libraries. Unlike EPUB's ZIP container, an FB2 file is a single XML document: metadata under title-info, prose in nested section elements, verse in stanza and v elements, and images as base64-encoded binary blobs. This tool parses that XML directly, walks the section tree into chapters, and typesets the result onto fixed A4 or Letter pages.

The output is a reading edition: serif body text, each chapter opening on a fresh page under its title, epigraphs and verse set as indented blocks, images embedded at the resolution you choose, and centered page numbers throughout. The book's declared cover and title page lead the document when present.

Built for Real FB2 Libraries

FB2 collections are usually large and often zipped — the tool is shaped around both facts.

Batch Up to 20 Books

Drop a whole folder of .fb2 files and convert them in one pass — one PDF per book, all with the same settings.

Three Quality Tiers

Low (72 DPI) keeps files small for screen reading, Medium (150 DPI) is the balanced default, and High (300 DPI) keeps illustrations sharp enough to print.

.fb2.zip Supported

Zipped FB2 files — the format most libraries distribute — are unzipped and converted automatically, no extra step.

Fully Private

Parsing and rendering happen in your browser. Your library never touches a server.

What the Quality Setting Actually Does

FB2 books embed images as base64 blobs, often at whatever resolution the publisher scanned. The quality selector caps how densely those images are embedded: at 72 DPI a full-width illustration is stored at screen resolution, at 300 DPI it keeps enough pixels for a sharp print. Text is always vector — the setting only affects images, so a text-only book produces the same file at every tier.

Cyrillic text is fully supported — the serif face covers Russian, Ukrainian and other Cyrillic-alphabet books natively, which matters because that is where most FB2 libraries live. Books in other scripts fall back to a matching embedded face rather than rendering as boxes.
