Frequently Asked Questions
How do I extract text from a PDF?
Upload the PDF and the selectable text layer is read automatically, page by page. Copy the result or download it as a .txt file.
Does it work for scanned PDFs?
Only if the PDF has a selectable text layer. Scanned, image-only PDFs show no text — OCR is not included in this tool.
Can I see the text separated by page?
Yes. The extracted text preview is organized page by page, so you can tell exactly where each section came from.
Is extracting text from a PDF free?
Yes. It is completely free with no sign-up, no limits, and no watermarks.
Are my PDFs uploaded to a server?
No. Text extraction happens entirely in your browser. Your file never leaves your device.
