PDF to text

Pull the text out of a PDF and save it as a plain .txt file you can paste anywhere.

    Your file stays on this device. Nothing is uploaded: the work happens in your browser, so it also works offline once the page has loaded.

    How it works

    The text on each page is read and rebuilt into paragraphs. Layout, images and tables are left out.

    Scanned PDFs are pictures of paper and contain no text, so there is nothing to extract from them.
