Frequently asked questions

How do I extract the text from a PDF?
Upload your PDF, the tool pulls out the text in the document, and you can copy it or download it. This is ideal for reusing the content of a file.
Does it work on a PDF scanned as an image?
The extraction reads the text that is already selectable in the PDF. For a scanned PDF, you first need OCR recognition, because a plain image contains no copyable text.
Is my PDF uploaded to a server?
No, the extraction happens 100% in your browser. Your PDF stays on your device and is never sent online.
Is the tool free and account-free?
Yes, extracting text from a PDF is free, with no ads and no sign-up. You copy your text with no limits.
