About PDF to Text

Pull the text content out of a PDF so you can copy, search, or reuse it elsewhere. Upload a file and every page's text is extracted in reading order, ready to copy or download as a plain .txt file.

Useful for quoting a PDF report, repurposing text from a document, or checking a file's content without opening a PDF reader. Extraction happens locally via pdfjs-dist; scanned image-only pages won't produce text since no OCR is performed.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this work on scanned (image-only) PDFs?

No — this extracts text that's already embedded in the PDF. Scanned pages with no text layer require OCR, which this tool doesn't perform.
