FicLab

FicLab

Download fanfiction as ebook files from a number of popular sites. Simple to use, with beautiful results.

What is FicLab?
FicLab is a Firefox extension created to help users download fanfiction as ebook files easily. Users simply navigate to the fanfiction story, click the FicLab 'save' button, and the story is converted into the user's chosen format - such as ePub, Kindle, PDF, markdown, plain text, MS Word (docx) and HTML. Users can also independently download cover images as PNG files. Although the add-on uses an 'access all sites' permission feature, this is strictly used for adding functionality to supported sites; it will never modify or access any site outside of its ebook conversion scope.

A Note About Permissions: This extension uses an "access all sites" permission. The purpose of this permission is to allow publishers to add support for their own sites, in addition to the sites that are supported natively. It will be used to add the 'save' button to supported sites, and to fetch story content from those sites. It will not be used for anything else, and will never access or modify any site other than fiction sites that are supported for ebook conversion by the extension.
