Convert ELP to EPUB

Verified by Adam B.· reviewed by FE Editorial ·updated Jun 16, 2026
QUICK ANSWER
Is it possible to convert ELP to EPUB?
Yes - ELP converts to EPUB.

An .elp file is an eXeLearning project, so the reliable route is to open it in eXeLearning and export to ePub3 via File > Export. The resulting .epub reflows text and images for e-readers, but interactive activities and embedded video/audio will not work the way they do on the web.

Also to EPUB: XHTML · RST · ODT

Why convert ELP to EPUB?

People convert .elp to .epub when they want their eXeLearning course to be readable offline on e-readers, tablets and phones instead of requiring a browser or an LMS. ePub3 is an open e-book standard, so the exported course opens in Apple Books, Calibre and most reader apps.

How to convert ELP to EPUB

eXeLearning (File > Export > ePub3) OPEN-SOURCE

Open the .elp file in eXeLearning, then choose File > Export > ePub3. It writes a single .epub containing all pages, images and styles.

Calibre (post-processing) FREE

After exporting the .epub from eXeLearning, open it in Calibre to fix metadata, cover and table of contents, or convert onward to .mobi/.azw3.

Quality & what to watch

  • Interactive iDevices (quizzes, drag-and-drop) and embedded video or audio degrade or stop working, since ePub readers do not run the same scripts a browser does.
  • Complex multi-column layouts reflow to a linear e-book flow, so the look changes from the web export.
  • You need eXeLearning itself to open a .elp file - generic archive or e-book tools cannot read the project structure.

Frequently asked questions

Can I open a .elp file without eXeLearning?
You can peek inside it with an archive tool because it is ZIP-based, but only eXeLearning can read the project and export a proper .epub.
Which ePub version does eXeLearning produce?
It exports ePub3, the current open e-book standard supported by Apple Books, Calibre and most modern readers.
Will my quizzes work in the EPUB?
No. Interactive activities are built for the web/LMS export and generally will not function inside an e-book reader.
Is there an online .elp-to-.epub converter?
There is no reliable web service; use the eXeLearning app, which is free and open-source, to export ePub3 directly.
