Format Details
LRF
LRF is Sony Reader's legacy ebook format. Conversion uses Calibre when available on the server.
ebookTextile
Textile is a lightweight markup language originally developed for the Textile CMS and later adopted by the Ruby on Rails community and various blogging platforms. It offers a simple, readable syntax for headings, emphasis, links, lists, tables, and code blocks that converts to clean HTML. While less widespread than Markdown today, Textile is still used in content management systems and project management tools like Redmine.
documentConverting LRF to TEXTILE: what actually changes
LRF to Textile is one of the conversions this site performs, but the two formats are not interchangeable containers. Here is what the file keeps, what it loses, and how to get a result you can use.
What .LRF and .TEXTILE each hold
.LRF is a ebook format built for reading a book on an e-reader or in an app, storing chapters, images and reading order. .TEXTILE is a document format built for reading, printing or circulating a document, storing text, layout, fonts and images. Converting between them is a decision about which of those two jobs the result needs to do.
What changes when categories differ
This conversion translates chapters, images and reading order into text, layout, fonts and images so the result can be used for reading, printing or circulating a document. The meaning of the file is preserved; the way it is stored, and some format-specific detail, changes with the target.
When this conversion is the right one
Reach for .TEXTILE when you need a file for reading, printing or circulating a document, starting from reading a book on an e-reader or in an app. If that is not what you are after, check what else .LRF converts to before committing to this target.
Tips for a clean LRF to TEXTILE conversion
Start from the original file
Convert the .LRF you started with, not an earlier .TEXTILE output. Every extra round trip costs quality and can accumulate formatting drift.
Check the real type, not the extension
Application/x-lrf becomes text/textile. If a file was renamed rather than converted, it will fail to open — rename it back to its true extension before uploading and the conversion will recognise it.
Keep the output next to the original
Save the .TEXTILE file alongside the source rather than replacing it. Having both means you can try a different target later without hunting down the original again.
Limits worth knowing
Uploads are capped per file (30 MB, or 100 MB for video) and processed temporarily — nothing is kept as a permanent copy. For huge ebook files, split or compress the source first.
