Turn outlines and drafts into publication-ready eBooks

Start from an idea, a CSV outline, or an uploaded draft and produce structured chapters, SEO-ready metadata, localized text, and exportable EPUB/PDF/Markdown — all in your browser with human-in-the-loop editing.

What this generator does

Quick overview

The Free AI eBook Generator converts short briefs, outlines, or uploaded draft files into structured eBooks ready for distribution or gated lead capture. It emphasizes a chapter-first process so you can control structure and tone at each step, add CTAs and metadata for SEO, and export the output in formats suited to distribution pipelines.

  • Start from a one-line idea, CSV outline, Markdown, or .docx paste
  • Create a full table of contents and chapter goals automatically
  • Edit each chapter inline before exporting to EPUB, PDF, or Markdown

Chapter-first workflow

How it works

Work in four focused stages so drafts stay organized and export-ready.

  • Outline: generate or import a chapter list with goals and CTAs.
  • Expand: ask for length, tone, reading level, and add checklists or anecdotes per chapter.
  • Edit: rewrite, localize, and insert alt text; keep content editable for human review.
  • Export: produce clean Markdown, EPUB with table of contents, or a print-ready PDF.

Fine-grained chapter control

Edit pacing, add checklists, pull quotes, or case anecdotes on a per-chapter basis.

  • Set word targets or ranges for each chapter
  • Insert inline citation placeholders and a sources appendix
  • Add chapter-level CTAs and lead-capture hooks

Export-ready outputs

Choose the format that fits publishing or distribution needs.

  • EPUB with semantic headings and TOC
  • Print-ready PDF layouts with cover and front matter
  • Clean Markdown for content pipelines or CMS imports

Structured prompts to get better drafts

Prompt clusters — ready-to-use prompts

Use these starter prompts to prompt the generator or paste directly into the editor to get predictable, editable outputs.

  • Outline generator — “Create a 10-chapter outline for a 20-page eBook titled ‘Remote Team Playbook’ aimed at engineering managers; include chapter goals, one-sentence summary, and a suggested CTA for each chapter.”
  • Chapter expansion — “Expand Chapter 3 ‘Hiring for Remote Roles’ to 900–1,200 words, include a 5-item checklist, two example interview questions, and one short case anecdote.”
  • Metadata pack — “Suggest 8 headline/subtitle combinations optimized for downloads and organic search; produce a 150-character meta description and 3 keyword variants.”
  • Localization brief — “Localize the introduction for UK English, convert measurements to metric, and replace US-specific examples with UK business references.”

FAQ

What output formats are available and what should I choose (EPUB, PDF, Markdown)?

Available outputs are EPUB, PDF, and clean Markdown. Choose EPUB for general eBook distribution and devices that prefer reflowable text; PDF when you need a fixed, print-ready layout with specific pagination and design; and Markdown when you need editable source files for a publishing pipeline or CMS import.

Who owns the text produced and how should I check for reuse or attribution?

You retain responsibility for the content you create. Treat AI-generated drafts like editable writing: review for originality, verify factual claims, and add proper attribution for third-party material. Use the citation placeholders feature to track sources you intend to verify before publication.

How do I make an eBook optimized for lead capture and SEO?

Use the generator’s SEO and conversion defaults: supply target keywords, pick headline/subtitle variants, add meta descriptions, and insert chapter-level CTAs. End-of-chapter CTAs can be configured for email sign-up, demo booking, or related downloads to maximize lead capture.

Can I import my existing drafts (Word, Markdown, Google Docs) and continue editing?

Yes. Paste or import plain text, Markdown, and simple .docx content. The tool maps content to chapters where possible so you can continue editing chapter-by-chapter in the browser.

What controls exist for tone, reading level, and regional localization?

Specify tone (conversational, formal, technical), target reading level (e.g., grade 8), and regional variants (US/UK/AU English) when expanding or rewriting chapters. The generator can also convert units, adjust cultural examples, and change spelling conventions to suit a GEO market.

How are images, alt text, and accessibility handled during export?

Upload JPG/PNG images per chapter and use the built-in alt-text generator to produce descriptive alt text and short captions. EPUB and PDF exports include those alt texts where supported; Markdown exports include image references and alt text for downstream accessibility checks.

Can I include citations, and how does the tool surface source references?

You can insert inline citation placeholders during drafting. The generator can compile those placeholders into a sources appendix formatted with author, title, year, and link placeholders for you to fill in and verify before publication.

Is there a limit to eBook length or number of exports for the free generator?

This free browser-based generator is intended for short-to-medium length eBooks and lead magnets with a chapter-first workflow. For details on any limits to length or export frequency, see Texta's pricing and usage documentation at /pricing.

What steps should I follow to turn an outline into a publication-ready file?

1) Generate or import an outline and assign goals per chapter. 2) Expand each chapter with the desired length, tone, and features (checklists, examples). 3) Edit and localize content, add images with alt text, and insert citation placeholders. 4) Configure metadata and CTAs. 5) Export to EPUB, PDF, or Markdown and run a final accessibility and citation verification.

How do I edit or revise chapter-by-chapter after the AI generates the first draft?

Open any chapter in the editor to adjust tone, reading level, and length; request targeted rewrites (e.g., shorten paragraphs, add pull-quotes), insert or remove checklist items, and update CTAs. All changes remain editable until you export the final file.
