PDF to text
Extract the raw text from a PDF.
Runs entirely in your browser. Verify it in your network tab.
What this does
Pulls the embedded text layer out of the document, page by page.
Limits
- Scanned PDFs have no text layer, so this returns nothing for them. OCR is not included.
- Complex multi-column layouts may extract out of reading order.
Is this private?
Yes, and you can check rather than take our word for it. Open your browser's network tab and run the tool: your file never appears in it, because there is no server to send it to. The whole site is static files.
