PDF to Audiobook Converter
Turn a whole book into hours of narrated audio, split into chapters you can jump between
PDF2Audio reads long documents from start to finish — books, theses, manuals — up to about 2 million characters in one go. A book comes back as one audio file with chapter markers, a player that remembers where you stopped, and an MP3 you can keep.
Built for books, not just pages
The whole book, read in full
Clean Read-Through narrates the full text in order. Expect roughly one minute of audio per 1,000 characters — about 10 hours for a 300-page book.
Automatic chapters
Longer documents get a chapter marker roughly every ten minutes of audio, labelled with section titles written by the AI, so you can jump straight to a part.

The chapter player saves your position. Close the tab, come back tomorrow and carry on from the same spot.

What does a 300-page book cost?
A typical book page holds about 2,000 characters, so a 300-page book is roughly 600,000 characters — around 10 hours of full-length audio (usually somewhere between 7 and 14 hours, depending on the text).
Pay per document: $27.00 for that book, once. The price is $0.045 per 1,000 characters, worked out from the text length and shown to you before you pay — no plan and nothing to cancel.
Basic plan ($9.99 a month) or 3-month pass ($24.99, one payment): each includes 500,000 characters a month — about a 250-page book every month. They suit regular listening; a single 600,000-character book is more than one month's allowance, so for one big book, paying per document is simpler.
Try it first: every new account includes 50,000 free characters. If your book is longer, the first ~20 minutes are converted free so you can hear the voice before you decide.
How to convert a PDF book to an audiobook
1. Upload the PDF (up to 10 MB and about 2 million characters). It needs selectable text — a scanned book with no text layer has nothing to read.
2. Choose Clean Read-Through for the full text, then pick a narrator voice and the language of the book.
3. Start the conversion. It runs on our servers, and the finished audiobook is saved to your conversion history.
4. Listen chapter by chapter in the browser, or download the MP3.
