PDF
Extract Text From a PDF
Upload a PDF and its text content is extracted page by page and returned as a plain text file.
Frequently asked questions
Does this work on scanned PDFs?
It extracts existing text; for scanned image-only PDFs, use the OCR tool first to create a searchable text layer.
Is this tool really free?
Yes — completely free, with no sign-up, no ads and no artificial limits.
Are my files kept or shared?
No. Processing happens on our servers, then the file is deleted immediately and an automatic cleanup removes any residue. Nothing is stored or sold.
