About PDF to Text

Extract all selectable text from a PDF document as plain text.

Your files stay private. Files are processed to generate your result and are not written to disk or stored on our servers.

Frequently asked questions

This didn’t extract anything from my PDF — why?

If your PDF is a scan (a photo of a page rather than real text), it has no selectable text layer to extract. Try the Image to Text (OCR) tool instead.
