FB2 is a popular format for storing e-books. Applications for viewing such documents, for the most part, are cross-platform, available on both stationary and mobile operating systems. Actually, the demand for this format is dictated by the abundance of programs intended not only for viewing it (more details below).
The FB2 format is extremely easy to read, both on a large computer screen and on much smaller displays of smartphones or tablets. And yet, sometimes users need to convert an FB2 file to a Microsoft Word document, whether it is an outdated DOC or a DOCX that replaced it. We will tell you how to do this in this article.
As it turned out, finding a suitable program for converting FB2 to Word is not so easy. They exist and there are quite a few of them, but most of them are either simply useless or even unsafe. And if some converters simply do not cope with the task, others will also pollute your computer or laptop with a bunch of unnecessary software from a well-known domestic corporation that is so eager to get everyone hooked on their services.
Since everything is not so simple with converter programs, it would be better to bypass this method altogether, especially since it is not the only one. If you know a good program with which you can convert FB2 to DOC or DOCX, write about it in the comments.
Using Online Resources for Converting
On the boundless expanses of the Internet, there are quite a few resources with which you can convert one format to another. Some of them allow you to convert FB2 to Word as well. So that you do not look for a suitable site for a long time, we found it, or rather them, for you. You just have to choose the one that you like more.
Consider the process of converting online using the example of the Convertio resource.
1. Upload an FB2 document to the site. To do this, this online converter offers several methods:
- Specify the path to the folder on the computer;
- Upload a file from Dropbox or Google Drive cloud storage;
- Specify a link to the document on the Internet.
Note: If you are not registered on this site, the maximum file size that can be uploaded cannot exceed 100 MB. Actually, in most cases this will be enough.
2. Make sure that FB2 is selected in the first window with the format, in the second select the appropriate format for the Word text document that you want to end up with. It can be DOC or DOCX.
3. Now you can convert the file, just click on the red virtual button "Convert".
4. Download the converted file to your computer by clicking the green button "Download", or save it to cloud storage.
Now you can open the saved file in Microsoft Word, however, all the text will most likely be written together. Therefore, you will need to edit the formatting. For greater convenience, we recommend placing two windows side by side on the screen - FB2-reader and Word, and then proceed to split the text into fragments, paragraphs, etc. Our guide will help you cope with this task.
Some tricks in working with the FB2 format
The FB2 format is a kind of XML document that has a lot in common with common HTML. The latter, by the way, can be opened not only in a browser or a specialized editor, but also in Microsoft Word. Knowing this, you can quite simply translate FB2 into Word.
1. Open the folder containing the FB2 document you want to convert.
2. Click on it with the left mouse button once and rename, or rather, change the specified format from FB2 to HTML. Confirm your intentions by clicking "Yes" in a popup window.
Note: If you cannot change the file extension, but can only rename it, follow these steps:
3. Now open the renamed HTML document. It will be displayed in a browser tab.
4. Highlight page content by clicking "CTRL+A", and copy it using the keys "CTRL+C".
Note: In some browsers, the text from such pages is not copied. If you encounter the same problem, simply open the HTML file in another web browser.
5. The entire contents of the FB2 document, more precisely, already HTML, is now in the clipboard, from where you can (even need) paste it into the Word.
Launch MS Word and click "CTRL+V" to paste the copied text.
Unlike the previous method (online converter), converting FB2 to HTML with subsequent insertion into Word preserves the text break into paragraphs. And yet, if necessary, you can always change the formatting of the text manually, making the text more readable.
Opening FB2 in Word directly
The methods described above have certain disadvantages:
- text formatting may change during conversion;
- images, tables, and other graphical data that may be contained in such a file will be lost;
- tags may appear in the converted file, fortunately, they are easy to remove.
Opening FB2 in Word directly is not without drawbacks, but this method is in fact the simplest and most convenient.
1. Open Microsoft Word and select the command in it "Open other documents"(if the latest files you worked with are shown, which is relevant for latest versions programs) or go to the menu "File" and press "Open" there.
2. In the explorer window that opens, select "All files" and specify the path to the document in FB2 format. Click on it and click open.
3. The file will open in a new window in Protected View. If you need to change it, click the button "Allow editing".
You can learn more about what Protected View is and how to disable the limited functionality of a document in our article.
Note: XML elements included in the FB2 file will be removed
Thus, we have opened an FB2 document in Word. All that remains is to work on formatting and, if necessary (most likely yes), remove tags from it. To do this, press the keys "CTRL+ALT+X".
1. Go to the menu "File" and select command "Save as".
2. In the drop-down menu located under the line with the file name, select the DOCX extension. If necessary, you can also rename the document..
3. Specify the save path and click "Save".
That's all, now you know how you can convert an FB2 file into a Word document. Choose the method that is convenient for you. By the way, reverse conversion is also possible, that is, a DOC or DOCX document can be converted to FB2. How to do this is described in our material.
Hi all! In today's article I want to tell you about how to convert pdf to fb2 files. If there are pictures in the text, they are converted along with the text. In my opinion, PDF is the most common, and FB2 is the most convenient format for reading books on various devices. On a computer, you can read in any format conveniently and comfortably (of course, not for everyone), but still I like to read in an e-book.
PDF books are not very suitable for reading on electronic devices, I personally was infuriated that I had to constantly enlarge each page separately to “fit” them to the display of the device.
Having tried different programs - for reading, this problem was not solved, or I was looking badly. If you know such a program, write in the comments. I'd be happy to advise.)
I came to the conclusion that it is necessary to change the format of reading. Namely, convert PDF to FB2. After trying various conversion methods, I settled on ABBYY PDF Transformer+, a program for working with PDF files and converting them to other formats.
The program is not free, but nowadays, if you try hard, you can find a lot of cracked programs on the Internet, and this one is no exception.
Now let's proceed directly to the file conversion itself:
- Run the program by double-clicking on the shortcut:
2. In the window that opens, click open:
3. On the top toolbar, click, as in the picture:
4. In the next step, enter the title of the book and the author:
6. We are waiting, closer to the end of the conversion, the save window will open:
7. After converting the format from PDF to FB2, check the resulting file, if something goes wrong, change the settings and repeat the procedure.
As a result of my experiments with conversions in this program, I encountered two problems:
- When translating formats from one to another with the recognition language, only Russian links in the book were not recognized;
- If there were any inserts in the book, for example, quotes or just words not in Russian, the letters were replaced with an incomprehensible set of characters.
The automatic recognition language solved these problems.
For me, ABBYY PDF Transformer+ is the best program converting PDF files to FB2 and working with PDF.
Thank you for reading my short article. If it turned out to be useful to you, write a comment - I will be glad to anyone. I'll add it if needed.
PS The book by Azat Valeev, which I converted into an article, I use only for reading on my device and not anywhere else.
Most of the books and magazines on the Internet can be downloaded from PDF- a universal format that can be opened on any computer device, in any desktop operating system, even with a regular browser. Format PDF allows you to create in electronic form an exact copy of a real book with typographic design and illustrations. book material in PDF-document, if the author wishes, can be protected from copying.
And here are the files in e-book formats FB2 or ePub less frequently posted on the Internet.
PDF vs FB2 and ePub
Despite the versatility of PDF, it is inferior to the FB2 or ePub formats in terms of ease of use. So, the latter are more functional and more lightweight compared to PDF. Some mobile devices may only support reading ePub e-books, not being able to play PDF or any other document formats. The problem of reading e-books in PDF may be faced by users of budget readers with a weak processor. Such can support PDF playback according to technical specifications, however, in practice, work will be impossible due to constant signings and inhibitions. Why are there budget readers, a PDF document with more than 500 pages can freeze even on a computer if it has weak hardware.
Not all software readers can work with PDF. For example, functional Windows readers coolreader And ICE Book Reader, which support the ability to read text in computer voice using voice engines, work only with text formats.
Both FB2 and ePub are e-book formats
These are compact text files with markup and structure. The presence of a table of contents, the ability to jump to the desired chapters are important advantages of FB2 and ePub books over PDF documents. The ePub format is heavier than FB2, as it supports complex layout and illustration with better images. While FB2 is lighter, it also displays illustrative materials in worst quality. These two formats also differ in copy protection. If materials in FB2 books can be copied without any obstacles, then ePub books may be protected from copying. The ePub format is common in Western countries. For a long time it was not known in the Runet, and even now it cannot be called popular. Of these two formats, most of the books in Russian are presented in FB2.
If there is an interesting book in a PDF file, this does not mean that it cannot be read using a reader that works only with e-book formats. The PDF file can be converted to FB2 or ePub. Below are three ways to do this.
Web service Online-Convert.Com
Online-Convert.Com (http://www.online-convert.com/en ) is not the only web service that offers online file conversion from one format to another, but it was chosen because of its popularity and usability. The site has a Russified and understandable interface, and converting files using it is quite simple. On the main page, select a section "Ebook Converter", set the output format - FB2 or ePub- and press the button "Begin".
Next, upload to the service server the original PDF file or indicate its address if it is posted on the Internet. If necessary, we change the name of the e-book or its author, we can also set additional conversion settings. We press "Convert".
If you are converting a large file, you can enter your email address, where you will receive a link to download the file in the output format after the conversion process is completed.
Small PDF files are converted quickly: in a couple of seconds after uploading the PDF file to the server, we can download the FB2 or ePub output file.
Web services at first glance may seem like the most in a simple way converting one format to another, since there is no need to bother with installing programs on a computer. At the same time, work with converting files through a web service can take a long time due to the existence of a queue.
A few more disadvantages of working with Online Convert.Com: in the output FB2 and ePub files, as a rule, there is no table of contents of books, not every conversion process can be completed successfully, and the free use of web service services is conditional. So, without a paid subscription, you can only convert PDF files, the weight of which does not exceed 100 MB.
Caliber program

The main purpose of Caliber is cataloging. electronic library user.

Even the Caliber program will not always be able to generate a table of contents in FB2 e-books.
