How do I extract text from a PDF?

Upload your PDF file. Our tool analyzes the document structure and extracts all readable text, which you can then copy or download.

Does it work with scanned PDFs?

For scanned images or non-selectable text, please use our PDF to Text OCR tool specifically designed for image-based PDFs.

Can I extract specific pages?

Currently, the tool extracts text from the entire document. You can copy the specific sections you need from the output window.

Is there a file size limit?

We support large files, but performance depends on your browser's memory. For efficiency, files under 50MB are recommended.

Is my data private?
