Frequently Asked Questions

Does it extract text from all pages?▼
Yes. Text is extracted from every page in the PDF in reading order, concatenated into a single .txt file.
Can it extract text from scanned PDFs?▼
No. Scanned PDFs contain images of text, not selectable text. They require OCR (Optical Character Recognition) software to extract. This tool only extracts embedded (selectable) text.
Is the text structure preserved?▼
Paragraphs and line breaks are generally preserved. Complex multi-column layouts may be linearized into single-column text flow.
Is the PDF uploaded to a server?▼
No. Text extraction happens in your browser using PDF.js. Your PDF never leaves your device.
What is extracted text useful for?▼
Content analysis, feeding text to AI tools, searching for keywords across many pages, creating transcripts, SEO content extraction, and text processing workflows.
