Size Limit

ePub imports have a max size of 10MB. To reduce the size of your ePub, you can remove image files in Calibre.

Table of Contents (TOC)

The TOC must be present for accurate chapter titles. If not present, chapters will still be imported but unnamed.

Creating Your Own ePub

If you'd like to create and import your own ePub for translation:

  1. Create a Word document (.docx) with your novel content. Use headers for each chapter title so the ePub can be properly parsed. You can also use Google Docs and export as .docx.
  2. Download Calibre (free) and convert the .docx file to .epub format.
  3. Click "Import ePub" on OpenNovel and upload your file.
  4. Your chapters will be available in your library for translation.
