MediaWiki to EPUB 3 Converter

Because the whole conversion happens on your device, it is instant, unlimited and genuinely private — no accounts, no watermarks, no files on anyone's server. Multiple files are converted in one go.

About the MediaWiki format
MediaWiki wikitext is the markup behind Wikipedia and its thousands of clones: =Headings=, [[internal links]], {{templates}} and <ref> citations. An enormous amount of public knowledge — encyclopedic, historical, technical — exists only in this syntax.
Wikis rarely export gracefully, and Markdown tools rarely import wikitext at all. A converter lets you take wiki content into proper documents (Word, EPUB, Markdown) — or publish your Markdown content back into a wiki in its own dialect.
+ Strengths
- ✓The format of Wikipedia-scale knowledge bases
- ✓Templates and citations as first-class citizens
- ✓Versioned and linked by the wiki engine
! Limitations
- −Dialects vary between wiki farms
- −Templates rarely convert meaningfully
- −Readability suffers without a wiki renderer
About the EPUB 3 format
EPUB is the open standard of e-books (IDPF, now W3C): a ZIP package of XHTML chapters, CSS styling and metadata, rendered reflowably on any screen size. Text re-wraps to your phone, your e-reader and your monitor; font size, margins and typography belong to the reader, not the publisher. EPUB3 adds fixed-layout support, media overlays (read-aloud) and rich semantics.
It is the universal format of every ebook platform except Kindle (Amazon accepts EPUB uploads since 2022 but converts internally). DRM is optional — many EPUBs are open, library books use Adobe ADE encryption. For text-centric books it is the right long-term choice; heavily designed print layouts survive conversion imperfectly.
+ Strengths
- ✓Reflows to any screen — the point of e-books
- ✓Open standard, future-proof, tool-rich
- ✓Accepted by every store and reader app
! Limitations
- −Kindle devices still need conversion to Kindle formats
- −Complex print layouts translate imperfectly
- −DRM variants need specific readers
