Frequently asked questions
Is extracting text free?
Completely — no signup, no watermark, no limit. There is no server, so there is nothing to charge for.
Is my PDF uploaded?
No. The text is extracted entirely in your browser. Your PDF never leaves your device.
Does it work on scanned PDFs?
Only on text-based PDFs. Scanned documents are images of text, which need OCR — this tool reads embedded, selectable text.
What do I get?
The extracted text on screen, which you can copy to the clipboard or download as a .txt file.
