Your original stays intact

Every repair starts from a preserved source. Nothing is silently rewritten.

02

See what needs attention

Located issues, clear explanations, and changes you can choose one by one.

03

Know what was checked

Separate checks for text, images, navigation and file standards. Unchecked means unchecked.

Repair EPUB and DOCX structure, then review the export

Check and repair EPUB and DOCX table-of-contents links, chapter headings and paragraph formatting. Choose changes, review checks, and export a draft.

How it works

1. Choose a manuscript. 2. Review located issues and select repairs. 3. Generate a file and read its checks. Download a review draft only after reading the remaining checks.

DOCX and EPUB support original-format repairs. Other imports produce drafts to review. Checks do not guarantee acceptance by a publishing platform.

BEFORE YOU UPLOAD

Is ChapterTidy the right tool for your file?

Start with an existing manuscript. Inspect the issues, choose the changes and check the result before publishing.

What can I repair in an EPUB or DOCX?
Check contents links and chapter structure, select supported repairs, and export in the original format. DOCX checks also identify heading and paragraph-formatting issues. Keep the source and review each proposed change.
What if I only have a PDF or another format?
These imports rebuild a document for review. Check the extracted text, reading order and images against the source. A converted draft is not a guaranteed lossless or publication-ready replacement.
Does a passed check mean my book is ready to publish?
No. The report separates text, images, navigation and file-standard checks, including EPUBCheck for EPUB output. Open the export in your reader or publishing previewer and review anything marked as unchecked or needing review.
Where is my manuscript processed?
Files are uploaded to the ChapterTidy server for processing. They are removed after 24 hours by default, and you can delete them sooner in the workspace. The included sample lets you try the workflow before uploading your own work.
