EpubCheck

master branch status: epubcheck 4.0 pre-release in alpha stage Build Status

See bottom of the page for building or translating the 4.0 pre-release.


EpubCheck is a tool to validate EPUB files. It can detect many types of errors in EPUB. OCF container structure, OPF and OPS mark-up, and internal reference consistency are checked. EpubCheck can be run as a standalone command-line tool or used as a Java library.

EpubCheck 3.0.1 is the latest recommended version to validate both EPUB 2 and 3 files.

Documentation on how to use or how to contribute is available on the EpubCheck wiki.

Technical discussions are hosted on the EpubCheck Google Group
