epubwise copyright policy

epubwise is a converter, not a library: it never hosts, lists or shares books, and you may only convert files you have the right to.

Last updated 9 November 2026.

How the converter handles books

• Each file is converted privately for the one person who uploaded it. Nothing is listed, indexed, searchable or offered to anyone else.
• The uploaded file is deleted when its conversion ends, and the converted file within 60 minutes, as set out in the privacy policy.
• epubwise does not remove DRM, passwords or other copy protection. Locked PDFs and DRM-protected ebooks are refused.
• There is no catalogue of books to download, and the site never suggests where to find one.

What you may convert

Convert books and documents you wrote, that you own a copy of and are allowed to convert, that are in the public domain, or whose licence permits it. Whether converting a lawfully bought copy for your own reading is allowed depends on your country's law. Uploading files you have no right to use breaks the terms of use.

Reporting infringement

If you own the copyright in a work, or act for the owner, and believe epubwise is being used to infringe it, send a notice to the copyright agent below. To act on it, the notice needs:

• the copyrighted work you say is being infringed;
• the material at issue, with the epubwise download link if you have one, or enough detail to find it;
• your name, postal address, phone number and email address;
• a statement that you believe in good faith the use is not authorised by the owner, its agent or the law;
• a statement that the notice is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that you are the owner or authorised to act for the owner;
• your physical or electronic signature (typing your full name is enough).

Copyright agent: Ger Evangelista, epubwise.com, email [email protected], subject line "Copyright notice".

Valid notices get a reply within a few working days. A file still on the server is deleted at once; most will already be gone, because nothing is kept for more than 60 minutes. A notice that knowingly misstates the facts can make the sender liable for damages.

If a file was removed by mistake

Because files are deleted so quickly, there is usually nothing to put back. If you believe a notice about your use was wrong, email the same address with your details and the reason, and we will look at it.

Repeated misuse

epubwise has no accounts, but access from a visitor who repeatedly uploads infringing material will be blocked where it can reasonably be identified. To convert files you do have the right to, use the converter page.
