How to Convert an EPUB File to a CSV Spreadsheet
KnowledgeBase Epub Converter offers a lightning‑fast, single‑call API that turns any e‑book (.epub) into a tidy, comma‑separated values file (.csv). Perfect for pulling tables, chapter outlines or metadata into data‑analysis pipelines, BI tools, or a simple spreadsheet.
Why Choose KnowledgeBase Epub Converter for EPUB‑to‑CSV?
- Structure‑aware – extracts chapters, tables and footnotes as separate CSV sections (you can split or merge as required).
- Unicode‑safe – all characters, including RTL scripts and emojis, survive the round‑trip.
- Zero‑install – no Office, Calibre or external binaries needed; just a .NET 6+ library.
- Cross‑platform – runs on Windows, macOS and Linux.
- Highly configurable – control delimiter, quoting, line‑ending and table detection.
Getting Started
Add the Sheetize NuGet package and call EpubConverter.Process.
Sample C# Code
using Sheetize;
var load = new EpubLoadOptions
{
// Path to the source EPUB file
InputFile = @"C:\Books\MarketAnalysis.epub"
};
var save = new SaveOptions
{
// Destination CSV file (or folder if you split by chapter)
OutputPath = @"C:\Exports\MarketAnalysis.csv",
};
EpubConverter.Process(load, save);Best Practices
- Validate the EPUB first – a corrupted file may truncate the CSV; use an EPUB validator tool.
- Review the generated CSVs – adjust delimiters or quoting if your downstream system expects a specific format.
- Run a quick sanity check – open a few rows in a text editor or spreadsheet to confirm proper encoding (UTF‑8 is the default).
