How to extract text from PDF
Copy readable text from PDF for Word, notes, or editing. Works best on PDFs with a text layer; scanned PDFs need OCR first.
How to use
- Upload a PDF.
- Click Extract text and review output.
- Copy to clipboard or download .txt.
FAQ
- Scanned PDFs?
- Without a text layer, output may be empty — use OCR tools first.
- Uploaded?
- No — local extraction.
- Keep layout?
- Output is plain text without formatting.
Text extraction is local — content is not sent to servers.
