# FB2 to PDF
Convert FictionBook 2 (FB2) files into PDF documents. FB2 is an XML-based ebook format popular in Russia and Eastern Europe. While well-supported on certain platforms, it is virtually unknown on others -- converting to PDF makes your books readable everywhere.
## Supported Formats
| Format | Extension | Notes |
| :------------ | :-------- | :--------------------- |
| FictionBook 2 | `.fb2` | XML-based ebook format |
## How It Works
1. Click the upload area or drag and drop your FB2 files. Batch selection works for multiple files.
2. Review the file list. Use the trash icon to remove individual entries, or **Add More Files** to include more.
3. Click **Convert to PDF**. The PyMuPDF engine parses the FB2 XML structure and renders it as paginated PDF content.
4. One file downloads as a PDF directly. Multiple conversions are bundled into `fb2-converted.zip`.
## Options
No configuration is needed. The converter handles the FB2 XML structure automatically, preserving chapter breaks, formatting, and any embedded images.
## Use Cases
- Reading FB2 ebooks on devices or apps that only support PDF
- Printing Russian-language literature distributed in FB2 format
- Archiving an FB2 library into a universally supported format
- Sharing a book with someone whose reader does not support FictionBook
## Tips
- FB2 files are plain XML, so they tend to be small and convert quickly even in the browser.
- If your FB2 files are compressed as `.fb2.zip`, extract them first before uploading.
