Frequently Asked Questions

Is the HTML to MOBI conversion free?

Yes, completely free. Convert HTML to MOBI with no cost, no signup, and no watermarks.

Is my file kept on your servers?

No. Files are automatically deleted immediately after conversion. Nothing is stored or retained.

Is the transfer secure?

Yes. Files are transferred over encrypted HTTPS connections. Your data is protected in transit.

What technology powers this conversion?

The conversion uses Calibre, the powerful open-source ebook management tool. Calibre parses the HTML structure and converts it to the Mobipocket/MOBI format with proper Kindle navigation and chapter structure.

Will HTML headings become Kindle chapters?

Yes. Calibre uses h1 and h2 tags as chapter break points and builds a Kindle-compatible table of contents from your heading hierarchy.

Are CSS styles preserved?

Basic CSS styling (fonts, colors, margins, text alignment) is preserved. Advanced CSS features like animations, flexbox, and grid are stripped since Kindle e-readers do not support them.

What happens to images?

Images referenced in the HTML are embedded into the MOBI container. For best results, use local image paths rather than external URLs.

Will JavaScript be included?

No. JavaScript is stripped during conversion. Kindle devices do not execute JavaScript. Only the static HTML content is converted.

How do I sideload the MOBI onto my Kindle?

Connect your Kindle via USB and copy the .mobi file to the 'documents' folder. You can also email it to your Kindle's Send-to-Kindle email address.

Should I use MOBI or EPUB for Kindle?

MOBI is natively supported on all Kindle device generations. Newer Kindles also accept EPUB via Send to Kindle. MOBI is the safer choice for guaranteed compatibility.

Can I convert multiple files at once?

Currently, files are converted one at a time. Upload your next file after downloading the result.

What is the maximum file size?

Files up to 50 MB are supported for free conversion.
