Using our free EPUB to DOCX file recovery tool

# What Scryla Recover Does

Scryla Recover is a simple tool for converting **EPUB files into editable DOCX documents**.

EPUB files are commonly used for distributing ebooks, but they are difficult to edit directly. Scryla Recover extracts the content from an EPUB file and converts it into a Microsoft Word document so you can easily revise, edit, or repurpose the text.

This is useful when:

- You only have the **published EPUB version** of a book
- You want to **recover text from an old ebook**
- You need to **edit or revise an ebook manuscript**

The generated DOCX file preserves the structure of the original ebook as closely as possible, including headings, paragraphs, and images.

# Recovering an EPUB File

Using Scryla Recover takes just a few seconds.

1. Open the [**Scryla Recover**](https://recover.scryla.app) tool.
2. Upload your **EPUB file**.
3. Click **Convert**.
4. The generated **DOCX file** is automatically downloaded.

The DOCX file can be opened in:

- Microsoft Word
- Google Docs
- LibreOffice
- Apple Pages
- Almost any other word processing software

Once converted, the text becomes fully editable so you can make corrections or reuse the content.

# Notes and Limitations

While Scryla Recover attempts to preserve the structure of the original ebook, some formatting may require adjustment after conversion.

In particular:

- Highly complex layouts may change slightly
- Custom fonts may not carry across
- Decorative formatting may need minor cleanup

However, the core content (text, headings, and images) will be preserved, making it much faster to recover an editable manuscript than starting from scratch.

# Privacy and File Handling

Scryla Recover processes EPUB files automatically in order to convert them into editable DOCX documents.

When you upload a file, it is used **only for the purpose of performing the conversion**. The system extracts the contents of the EPUB and generates a DOCX file which is then made available for download.

Files are handled using the following process:

- The uploaded EPUB file is temporarily stored while the conversion is performed.
- Once the conversion completes, the generated DOCX file is **automatically downloaded to your device**.
- Both the uploaded EPUB file and the generated DOCX file are **automatically deleted from the server within 10 minutes**.

Scryla Recover does **not read, review, store, or reuse** uploaded files. The system processes files automatically and no human access is involved in the conversion process.

Uploaded content is **not used for AI training or analysis**.

Your files remain your work and are handled only long enough to complete the conversion.
