Getting the EPUB onto your Kindle
Kindles read EPUB files that arrive through Amazon's Send to Kindle. Pick whichever of its three routes suits you.
Email
Attach the EPUB to an email to your Kindle's Send to Kindle address, sent from an address on your approved list. The email route stops at 50 MB.The Send to Kindle app
Install Amazon's Send to Kindle app on your computer and drag the EPUB into it.Amazon's website
Upload the EPUB on Amazon's Send to Kindle page while signed in to your Amazon account.
Copying the EPUB to a Kindle over USB doesn't work, because Kindles can't open EPUB files copied that way. For a Kobo or another e-reader, copying over USB is fine. Step by step: how to send manga to your Kindle by email.
Sized for your Kindle and sent to it
To get it sized for your exact Kindle and sent straight to it, make a free account. Your first volume is free.
You don't need a card, and there's nothing to install. After your free volume it's $29 once, not per volume, and it doesn't renew.

Questions about the converter
What is EPUB?
EPUB is the standard e-book format. Amazon's Send to Kindle accepts it, and Kobo and most other e-readers open it directly. This converter makes a fixed-layout EPUB: one page image per screen, in the order of your files, turning right to left.
How do I send an EPUB to my Kindle?
Use Amazon's Send to Kindle. You can email the EPUB to your Kindle's Send to Kindle address (in your Amazon account under Manage Your Content and Devices, then Devices) from an address on your approved list, drop it into the Send to Kindle app on a computer, or upload it on Amazon's Send to Kindle website. Don't copy the EPUB over USB: Kindles can't open EPUB files copied that way.
What file formats can I upload?
A CBZ or ZIP of page images, or a single JPG, PNG or WebP image, up to 200 MB. PDF, EPUB and RAR-based CBR files don't work here. A MangaSendr account also takes PDF and image-based EPUB files.
Is there a limit on conversions?
You get 3 free conversions a day without an account. A conversion that fails doesn't count. A MangaSendr account sends files straight to your Kindle, and your first volume is free.
Which way do the pages turn?
Right to left, like printed manga. For Western comics that read left to right, a MangaSendr account lets you pick the direction.
How is this different from a MangaSendr account?
This converter makes one file at a time, with pages at one standard 6-inch Kindle size (1072 x 1448), and you send it to your Kindle yourself. With a MangaSendr account, pages are sized for your Kindle model, big volumes are split into parts that fit Amazon's email, and the result is sent straight to your Kindle. The Mac and Windows app adds a watched folder and USB copying.
Can I convert manga to read on Kobo?
Yes. Download the EPUB or CBZ here and copy it to your Kobo over USB. The CBZ keeps the original pages, which suits color Kobos. MangaSendr only emails Kindles, so for a Kobo the download is the way to go.
Is the converter free to use?
Yes. There's no account and no watermark, and the files are yours to keep.
What Kindle models are supported?
Any Kindle that receives Send to Kindle documents can read the EPUB. Its pages are 1072 x 1448, the size of a 6-inch Kindle screen, and a bigger Kindle scales them up. For pages made for your exact model, use a MangaSendr account.
How does this compare to Calibre for manga?
Calibre is a powerful free desktop program, but you have to install and set it up, and you convert each chapter or volume by hand. This converter works in your browser with nothing to set up: upload a CBZ or ZIP file and download your EPUB. With a MangaSendr account, the conversion and the delivery to your Kindle happen in one step.
Is this better than Kindle Comic Converter (KCC)?
KCC is a free, open-source desktop app with far more settings than this tool, and it handles Kobo, left-to-right comics and webtoon strips. This converter works from a file upload in your browser with nothing to set: white borders are trimmed and pages are sized and turned to grayscale for you. With a MangaSendr account, converted files are also emailed straight to your Kindle.
Can I convert manga without installing software?
Yes. This converter works in your browser, on a computer or a phone, with nothing to install. Upload a CBZ or ZIP file, or an image, and download an EPUB for your Kindle.
Why a Kindle needs an EPUB, not a CBZ
Kindles don't open CBZ files, and Amazon's Send to Kindle turns them away. It does accept EPUB, so a CBZ, a ZIP or a folder of pages has to become an EPUB before it can reach a Kindle.
This converter builds a fixed-layout EPUB: one page image per screen, in the order of your files. Plain white borders are trimmed, each page is fitted to 1072 x 1448 in grayscale, and wide two-page spreads are turned sideways so they fill the screen. Pages turn right to left, like printed manga.
There's nothing to install, and it works on a phone too. For pages made for your exact Kindle and sent to it for you, a MangaSendr account does the conversion and the delivery in one step.
