Extract all readable text from any PDF document in seconds — free, with no server upload. The extracted text is formatted to preserve paragraph structure, making it easy to copy into Word, Notepad, Google Docs, or any other application. Works on any PDF that has an embedded text layer.
Text extraction is useful when you need to reuse content from a PDF in another document, search the full text of a large PDF in a text editor, translate the content using a translation service, feed the text into a summarization or analysis tool, or copy specific passages without dealing with PDF formatting. For scanned PDFs where text is not selectable, the OCR tool must be run first to create an extractable text layer.
Only on PDFs with an embedded text layer. Scanned image-only PDFs need OCR processing first — use the Searchable PDF tool to add a text layer.
No. Extract text from PDFs of any length.
No. Text extraction runs entirely locally using PDF.js. Your file never leaves your device.
Paragraph breaks are generally preserved. Complex multi-column layouts may merge columns into a single text flow.
