The problem

PDFs are made for documents. Books are made for reading.

Reading a book as a PDF means fixed pages, tiny text, awkward zooming, and a reading experience that never feels natural. Paragra transforms PDFs into real EPUB books that adapt beautifully to every screen.

A scanned PDF

A Paragra book

The same page, restored as a clean chapter in the finished EPUB

Watch Paragra rebuild your book, live.

Recognized text streams in on the left. On the right, Apple Intelligence — running entirely on your Mac — restores real paragraphs and structure while you watch. Reconstructing a book like this used to mean the cloud, subscriptions, or per-page fees. Apple Intelligence is what made doing it locally, for free, actually possible — and it's the reason Paragra exists.

"All art is quite useless."
