Step-by-Step Guide

Now, let’s break down the EPUB to GIF conversion process into a series of easy-to-follow steps:

Step 1: Open the EPUB File

First, you need to open the existing EPUB file for reading using Java’s FileInputStream. Make sure you replace "input.epub" with the actual path to your EPUB file.

try (FileInputStream fileInputStream = new FileInputStream("input.epub")) {

Step 2: Initialize ImageSaveOptions

Next, initialize the ImageSaveOptions for the conversion process. Specify the output format as GIF.

    ImageSaveOptions options = new ImageSaveOptions(ImageFormat.Gif);

Step 3: Perform the Conversion

Now, it’s time to convert the EPUB file to a GIF image. Use the Converter.convertEPUB method for this purpose, passing in the fileInputStream, options, and the desired output file path. Here, we use "output.gif" as the output file.

    Converter.convertEPUB(fileInputStream, options, "output.gif");
}
