- Add your .LRF file - drop it in the box above or click to browse.
- Convert it to .MOBI in a few seconds.
- Download your new .MOBI file.
What to expect
- Embedded fonts are not carried over - MOBI replaces them with generic styles.

- MOBI is deprecated by Amazon since 2022; if your Kindle supports it,
.epubis a better long-term target.
Frequently asked questions
Will my table of contents survive the conversion?
Calibre extracts LRF's internal navigation links and writes a MOBI TOC where possible. Simple linear books convert cleanly; complex structured books may need manual TOC editing inside Calibre.
My LRF file gives an error in Calibre - what is wrong?
DRM-protected Sony store books use the
.lrx extension, not .lrf, and cannot be opened without prior authorization. If the extension is genuinely .lrf, the file may be corrupt.Is MOBI still a good format to convert to?
MOBI works on older Kindles, but Amazon deprecated it in 2022. If your device runs recent firmware, choose
.epub as the output instead.Can I convert LRF to MOBI without installing software?
Yes - use our free converter above; there is no software to install.
