ebook-convert input_file output_file [options]
Convert an e-book from one format to another.
input_file is the input and output_file is the output. Both must be specified as
the first two arguments to the command.
The output e-book format is guessed from the file extension of output_file.
output_file can also be of the special format .EXT where EXT is the output
file extension. In this case, the name of the output file is derived from the
name of the input file. Note that the filenames must not start with a hyphen.
Finally, if output_file has no extension, then it is treated as a folder and
an "open e-book" (OEB) consisting of HTML files is written to that
folder. These files are the files that would normally have been passed to the
output plugin.
After specifying the input and output file you can customize the conversion by
specifying various options. The available options depend on the input and
output file types. To get help on them specify the input and output file and
then use the -h option.
For full documentation of the conversion system see
המרת ספרים
אלקטרוניים
Whenever you pass arguments to
ebook-convert that have spaces in them,
enclose the arguments in quotation marks. For example: "/some path/with
spaces"
The options and default values for the options change depending on both the
input and output formats, so you should always check with:
ebook-convert myfile.input_format myfile.output_format -h
Below are the options that are common to all conversion, followed by the options
specific to every input and output format.

- --input-profile
- Specify the input profile. The input profile gives the
conversion system information on how to interpret various information in
the input document. For example resolution dependent lengths (i.e. lengths
in pixels). Choices are: cybookg3, cybook_opus, default, hanlinv3,
hanlinv5, illiad, irexdr1000, irexdr800, kindle, msreader, mobipocket,
nook, sony, sony300, sony900
- --list-recipes
- List builtin recipe names. You can create an e-book from a
builtin recipe like this: ebook-convert "Recipe
Name.recipe" output.epub
- --output-profile
- Specify the output profile. The output profile tells the
conversion system how to optimize the created document for the specified
device (such as by resizing images for the device screen size). In some
cases, an output profile can be used to optimize the output for a
particular device, but this is rarely necessary. Choices are:cybookg3,
cybook_opus, default, generic_eink, generic_eink_hd, generic_eink_large,

- --dont-split-on-page-breaks
- Turn off splitting at page breaks. Normally, input files
are automatically split at every page break into two files. This gives an
output e-book that can be parsed faster and with less resources. However,
splitting is slow and if your source file contains a very large number of
page breaks, you should turn off splitting on page breaks.
- --epub-flatten
- This option is needed only if you intend to use the EPUB
with FBReaderJ. It will flatten the file system inside the EPUB, putting
all files into the top level.

- --epub-version
- The version of the EPUB file to generate. EPUB 2 is the
most widely compatible, only use EPUB 3 if you know you actually need
it.
- --extract-to
- Extract the contents of the generated EPUB file to the
specified folder. The contents of the folder are first deleted, so be
careful.

- --no-default-epub-cover
- Normally, if the input file has no cover and you
don't specify one, a default cover is generated with the title,
authors, etc. This option disables the generation of this cover.
- --no-svg-cover
- Do not use SVG for the book cover. Use this option if your
EPUB is going to be used on a device that does not support SVG, like the
iPhone or the JetBook Lite. Without this option, such devices will display
the cover as a blank page.
- --preserve-cover-aspect-ratio
- When using an SVG cover, this option will cause the cover
to scale to cover the available screen area, but still preserve its aspect
ratio (ratio of width to height). That means there may be white borders at
the sides or top and bottom of the image, but the image will never be
distorted. Without this option the image may be slightly distorted, but
there will be no borders.

- --asciiize
- Transliterate Unicode characters to an ASCII
representation. Use with care because this will replace Unicode characters
with ASCII. For instance it will replace
"Pelé" with "Pele".
Also, note that in cases where there are multiple representations of a
character (characters shared by Chinese and Japanese for instance) the
representation based on the current calibre interface language will be
used.
- --base-font-size
- The base font size in pts. All font sizes in the produced
book will be rescaled based on this size. By choosing a larger size you
can make the fonts in the output bigger and vice versa. By default, when
the value is zero, the base font size is chosen based on the output
profile you chose.
- --change-justification
- Change text justification. A value of
"left" converts all justified text in the source
to left aligned (i.e. unjustified) text. A value of
"justify" converts all unjustified text to
justified. A value of "original" (the default)
does not change justification in the source file. Note that only some
output formats support justification.
- --disable-font-rescaling
- Disable all rescaling of font sizes.
- --embed-all-fonts
- Embed every font that is referenced in the input document
but not already embedded. This will search your system for the fonts, and
if found, they will be embedded. Embedding will only work if the format
you are converting to supports embedded fonts, such as EPUB, AZW3, DOCX or
PDF. Please ensure that you have the proper license for embedding the
fonts used in this document.
- --embed-font-family
- Embed the specified font family into the book. This
specifies the "base" font used for the book. If
the input document specifies its own fonts, they may override this base
font. You can use the filter style information option to remove fonts from
the input document. Note that font embedding only works with some output
formats, principally EPUB, AZW3 and DOCX.
- --expand-css
- By default, calibre will use the shorthand form for various
CSS properties such as margin, padding, border, etc. This option will
cause it to use the full expanded form instead. Note that CSS is always
expanded when generating EPUB files with the output profile set to one of
the Nook profiles as the Nook cannot handle shorthand CSS.
- --extra-css
- Either the path to a CSS stylesheet or raw CSS. This CSS
will be appended to the style rules from the source file, so it can be
used to override those rules.
- --filter-css
- A comma separated list of CSS properties that will be
removed from all CSS style rules. This is useful if the presence of some
style information prevents it from being overridden on your device. For
example: font-family,color,margin-left,margin-right
- --font-size-mapping
- Mapping from CSS font names to font sizes in pts. An
example setting is 12,12,14,16,18,20,22,24. These are the mappings for the
sizes xx-small to xx-large, with the final size being for huge fonts. The
font rescaling algorithm uses these sizes to intelligently rescale fonts.
The default is to use a mapping based on the output profile you
chose.

- --insert-blank-line-size
- Set the height of the inserted blank lines (in em). The
height of the lines between paragraphs will be twice the value set
here.
- --keep-ligatures
- Preserve ligatures present in the input document. A
ligature is a special rendering of a pair of characters like ff, fi, fl et
cetera. Most readers do not have support for ligatures in their default
fonts, so they are unlikely to render correctly. By default, calibre will
turn a ligature into the corresponding pair of normal characters. This
option will preserve them instead.
- --line-height
- The line height in pts. Controls spacing between
consecutive lines of text. Only applies to elements that do not define
their own line height. In most cases, the minimum line height option is
more useful. By default no line height manipulation is performed.
- --linearize-tables
- Some badly designed documents use tables to control the
layout of text on the page. When converted these documents often have text
that runs off the page and other artifacts. This option will extract the
content from the tables and present it in a linear fashion.
- --margin-bottom
- Set the bottom margin in pts. Default is 5.0. Setting this
to less than zero will cause no margin to be set (the margin setting in
the original document will be preserved). Note: Page oriented formats such
as PDF and DOCX have their own margin settings that take precedence.
- --margin-left
- Set the left margin in pts. Default is 5.0. Setting this to
less than zero will cause no margin to be set (the margin setting in the
original document will be preserved). Note: Page oriented formats such as
PDF and DOCX have their own margin settings that take precedence.
- --margin-right
- Set the right margin in pts. Default is 5.0. Setting this
to less than zero will cause no margin to be set (the margin setting in
the original document will be preserved). Note: Page oriented formats such
as PDF and DOCX have their own margin settings that take precedence.
- --margin-top
- Set the top margin in pts. Default is 5.0. Setting this to
less than zero will cause no margin to be set (the margin setting in the
original document will be preserved). Note: Page oriented formats such as
PDF and DOCX have their own margin settings that take precedence.
- --minimum-line-height
- The minimum line height, as a percentage of the
element's calculated font size. calibre will ensure that every
element has a line height of at least this setting, irrespective of what
the input document specifies. Set to zero to disable. Default is 120%. Use
this setting in preference to the direct line height specification, unless
you know what you are doing. For example, you can achieve
"double spaced " text by setting this to 240.
- --remove-paragraph-spacing
- Remove spacing between paragraphs. Also sets an indent on
paragraphs of 1.5em. Spacing removal will not work if the source file does
not use paragraphs (<p> or <div> tags).
- --remove-paragraph-spacing-indent-size
- When calibre removes blank lines between paragraphs, it
automatically sets a paragraph indent, to ensure that paragraphs can be
easily distinguished. This option controls the width of that indent (in
em). If you set this value negative, then the indent specified in the
input document is used, that is, calibre does not change the
indentation.
- --subset-embedded-fonts
- Subset all embedded fonts. Every embedded font is reduced
to contain only the glyphs used in this document. This decreases the size
of the font files. Useful if you are embedding a particularly large font
with lots of unused glyphs.
- --transform-css-rules
- Path to a file containing rules to transform the CSS styles
in this book. The easiest way to create such a file is to use the wizard
for creating rules in the calibre GUI. Access it in the "Look
& feel->Transform styles " section of the conversion
dialog. Once you create the rules, you can use the
"Export" button to save them to a file.
- --transform-html-rules
- Path to a file containing rules to transform the HTML in
this book. The easiest way to create such a file is to use the wizard for
creating rules in the calibre GUI. Access it in the "Look
& feel->Transform HTML " section of the conversion
dialog. Once you create the rules, you can use the
"Export" button to save them to a file.
- --unsmarten-punctuation
- Convert fancy quotes, dashes and ellipsis to their plain
equivalents.
Modify the document text and structure using common patterns. Disabled by
default. Use --enable-heuristics to enable. Individual actions can be disabled
with the --disable-* options.
- --disable-dehyphenate
- Analyze hyphenated words throughout the document. The
document itself is used as a dictionary to determine whether hyphens
should be retained or removed.
- --disable-delete-blank-paragraphs
- Remove empty paragraphs from the document when they exist
between every other paragraph
- --disable-fix-indents
- Turn indentation created from multiple non-breaking space
entities into CSS indents.
- --disable-format-scene-breaks
- Left aligned scene break markers are center aligned.
Replace soft scene breaks that use multiple blank lines with horizontal
rules.
- --disable-italicize-common-cases
- Look for common words and patterns that denote italics and
italicize them.
- --disable-markup-chapter-headings
- Detect unformatted chapter headings and sub headings.
Change them to h2 and h3 tags. This setting will not create a TOC, but can
be used in conjunction with structure detection to create one.
- --disable-renumber-headings
- Looks for occurrences of sequential <h1> or
<h2> tags. The tags are renumbered to prevent splitting in the
middle of chapter headings.
- --disable-unwrap-lines
- Unwrap lines using punctuation and other formatting
clues.
- --enable-heuristics
- Enable heuristic processing. This option must be set for
any heuristic processing to take place.
- --html-unwrap-factor
- Scale used to determine the length at which a line should
be unwrapped. Valid values are a decimal between 0 and 1. The default is
0.4, just below the median line length. If only a few lines in the
document require unwrapping this value should be reduced
- --replace-scene-breaks
- Replace scene breaks with the specified text. By default,
the text from the input document is used.
Modify the document text and structure using user defined patterns.
- --search-replace
- Path to a file containing search and replace regular
expressions. The file must contain alternating lines of regular expression
followed by replacement pattern (which can be an empty line). The regular
expression must be in the Python regex syntax and the file must be UTF-8
encoded.
- --sr1-replace
- Replacement to replace the text found with sr1-search.
- --sr1-search
- Search pattern (regular expression) to be replaced with
sr1-replace.
- --sr2-replace
- Replacement to replace the text found with sr2-search.
- --sr2-search
- Search pattern (regular expression) to be replaced with
sr2-replace.
- --sr3-replace
- Replacement to replace the text found with sr3-search.
- --sr3-search
- Search pattern (regular expression) to be replaced with
sr3-replace.

- --chapter
- An XPath expression to detect chapter titles. The default
is to consider <h1> or <h2> tags that contain the words
"chapter ", "book",
"section ", "prologue",
"epilogue" or "part" as
chapter titles as well as any tags that have class=
"chapter". The expression used must evaluate to a
list of elements. To disable chapter detection, use the expression
"/ ". See the XPath Tutorial in the calibre User
Manual for further help on using this feature.
- --chapter-mark
- Specify how to mark detected chapters. A value of
"pagebreak " will insert page breaks before
chapters. A value of "rule" will insert a line
before chapters. A value of "none" will disable
chapter marking and a value of "both" will use
both page breaks and lines to mark chapters.
- --disable-remove-fake-margins
- Some documents specify page margins by specifying a left
and right margin on each individual paragraph. calibre will try to detect
and remove these margins. Sometimes, this can cause the removal of margins
that should not have been removed. In this case you can disable the
removal.
- --insert-metadata
- Insert the book metadata at the start of the book. This is
useful if your e-book reader does not support displaying/searching
metadata directly.
- --page-breaks-before
- An XPath expression. Page breaks are inserted before the
specified elements. To disable use the expression: /
- --prefer-metadata-cover
- השתמש

- --remove-first-image
- Remove the first image from the input e-book. Useful if the
input document has a cover image that is not identified as a cover. In
this case, if you set a cover in calibre, the output document will end up
with two cover images if you do not specify this option.
- --start-reading-at
- An XPath expression to detect the location in the document
at which to start reading. Some e-book reading programs (most prominently
the Kindle) use this location as the position at which to open the book.
See the XPath tutorial in the calibre User Manual for further help using
this feature.
