New

Edit your books

“Edit” reopens a finished book to change its metadata, its cover, or the order of its chapters and pages.

New

Re-edit an .m4b

Drop an existing audiobook: its chapters, metadata and cover are brought back in, ready to touch up.

New

Reopen any ePub

“Edit an ePub…” changes the page order, metadata or cover of an existing ePub.

New

Sort in one click

Sort chapters and pages by title, file name, duration, size or date — or reorder them by drag and drop.

New

A queue you control

Reorder waiting books, pause an audiobook, or cancel a creation without leaving an incomplete file behind.

New

Several PDFs at once

Add several PDFs or comics: one single book, or one book per file. And copy a cover with a right-click.

Audiobooks

Three steps, one audiobook.

No complex settings, no command line — Alexandria Studio takes care of everything.

1

Drop your files

MP3, M4A, WAV… each file becomes a chapter. Reorder them with a simple drag and drop.

2

Fill in the details

Title, author, narrator, series, genre, language, cover art — everything a well-identified book needs.

3

Export your book

A single .m4b file with its chapters, ready to open in Apple Books.

Everything an audiobook deserves.

Automatic chapters

Each file you add becomes a chapter, in the order you choose.

Full metadata

Title, author, narrator, series, genre, year, language, copyright, description.

Custom cover art

Choose your book's artwork — it shows up right in Apple Books.

Live progress

Progress and a detailed log during conversion — you always know where things stand.

Light, dark, your color

The appearance follows the system or your choice, with a custom accent color.

Apple Books ready

Chapters, metadata and cover art embedded right in the .m4b file.

Also in Alexandria Studio

Your images or a PDF,
as an ebook.

Assemble images or import an existing PDF to make an EPUB or a PDF ready to read. Each image becomes a page; a PDF is split automatically, and each bookmark becomes a chapter.

An ebook in progress: the cover and pages grouped by chapter

Three steps, one ebook.

Images, scans or a PDF: Alexandria Studio turns them into a real book.

1

Drop your images or a PDF

Each image becomes a page. An existing PDF is split automatically: each page becomes an image, each bookmark a chapter.

2

Reorder and fill in

Sort pages by name, size or date, then fill in the title, author and cover artwork.

3

Export as EPUB or PDF

Choose the output format that suits you, ready for Apple Books.

Your files never leave your Mac.

Alexandria Studio works entirely locally. Audio merging, assembling images or PDFs, and writing metadata and chapters all happen on your machine, never going through a server.
