Everything runs in your browser. Nothing is uploaded, so it is safe for contracts, statements and other confidential documents.
Drop your PDF above. The text is pulled out immediately, keeping the original line breaks, and you can copy it all with one click or download it as a .txt file. Switch to "Page by page" to grab text from a single page.
Not yet. Scanned PDFs are photos of pages and contain no real text, so there is nothing to extract without OCR (optical character recognition). If a PDF returns little or no text, it is almost certainly a scan, and the tool tells you so.
Line breaks and paragraph spacing are kept, so the text reads like the original. Fonts, bold and italics, tables and images are not included, because the output is plain text. To keep more layout, use PDF to Word.
No. Text extraction runs entirely in your browser and your file never leaves your device.
Some PDFs store text in visual fragments instead of reading order, for example in multi-column layouts or documents exported from design tools. The extractor follows the order stored in the file, so a few lines may appear out of sequence in those cases.
