Frequently asked questions

How do I extract text from a PDF?

Drop or select a PDF file. The tool extracts text from every page and displays it in a text box. Click "Copy text" to copy the result to your clipboard.

Is my PDF uploaded to a server?

No. The PDF is processed entirely in your browser using Mozilla's pdf.js library. Your file never leaves your device.

Does it work with scanned PDFs?

This tool extracts embedded text from digital PDFs. Scanned PDFs that contain only images without text layers will produce empty results — OCR is not included.

How large of a PDF can I process?

The tool works in your browser, so the limit depends on your device's memory. PDFs up to 100+ pages and 50 MB work well on most modern devices.
