FAQ
Can it read scanned PDFs (images)?
No. This tool extracts text embedded in the PDF. A scanned image-only PDF contains no text data to extract (OCR is not supported).
Is the layout preserved?
Text is extracted line by line; multi-column and table layouts are not preserved. It is ideal when you just need the words.
Are my files uploaded to a server?
No. Everything runs inside your browser on your own device — files are never sent anywhere. There are no ads, and the tools even work offline after the page loads.
Is it free? Do I need an account?
Yes, completely free. No sign-up, no login, and no usage limits.
