What this tool does

Use this tool for text-based PDFs. Image-only scans require OCR, which is not the same as text extraction.

Frequently asked questions

Does this tool use OCR?

No. It extracts text already embedded in the PDF. Scanned image-only pages need OCR.

Will the text keep the exact visual layout?

Not always. PDF text positioning does not map perfectly to plain text, so line structure can differ.

Is extracted text uploaded?

No. Extraction runs locally in the browser.
