Made for Kindle
MOBI is the classic Kindle e-book format. Text reflows to fit the screen and readers can change the font size.
Scans become Kindle text
For scanned PDFs, OCR recognizes the words first, so your Kindle gets real, resizable text instead of tiny page images.
Sideload over USB
Copy the .mobi into your Kindle's documents folder with a USB cable and it appears in your library, titled after your file name.
Questions
Frequently asked
How do I get a MOBI file onto my Kindle?
Connect your Kindle with a USB cable and copy the file into its documents folder. Amazon's Send to Kindle no longer accepts MOBI, so use PDF to EPUB if you prefer to email books to your Kindle.
What happens to columns and sidebars?
E-book text flows in a single column, so multi-column layouts, sidebars and text boxes are merged into the main text. Novels and text-heavy documents convert best.
How long can the PDF be?
Up to 200 pages per conversion. For a longer book, split it with Split PDF and convert each part as its own volume.
Can I convert a scanned PDF?
Yes. Pick Convert with OCR and the scanned words are recognized, so your Kindle shows text it can resize instead of page images.
How long does it take to convert PDF to MOBI?
Usually well under a minute. Longer PDFs can take a little more.
Is PDF to MOBI free?
Yes. It is free to use, with no sign-up and no watermarks added to your files.
