Turn any PDF, web article, scan, Kindle file or your own writing into a real EPUB - then read it on your iPhone, send it to Kindle or open it in Apple Books. Everything happens on your device. No account, no uploads, no ads. WHY EPUB MAKER Most "PDF to EPUB" tools give you pictures of pages. EPUB Maker extracts the actual text, so your book reflows to any font size, works in dark mode and reads like a book - not like a scan. Prefer the original layout? Keep it, page for page. Your choice, per book. WHAT YOU CAN CONVERT • PDF - reflowable text or exact layout • Web articles - paste a link or share from Safari; menus and ads are stripped, the text stays • Scans and photos - the camera turns pages into searchable, selectable text (on-device OCR) • Kindle files - DRM-free MOBI, AZW, AZW3 and PRC open as EPUB • TXT, HTML and Markdown • Your own writing - a Markdown editor with chapters, images and live preview A LIBRARY YOU'LL ACTUALLY USE • Every book gets a real cover: your photo, the first PDF page or a generated one • Continue where you left off, search, sort, folders • Add several files at once - one book per file, or chapters of one book • Edit title, author, language, description, tags and cover at any time READ ANYWHERE • Built-in reader with light, sepia and dark themes, adjustable text size and a table of contents • Export to Apple Books, Send to Kindle, Files, Mail or AirDrop - a clean EPUB with cover, metadata and chapters that any reader accepts PRIVATE BY DESIGN No sign-up.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Pickapp at every 5 days against PDF to EPUB's fortnightly. Pickapp also leads on iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
