Extract selectable text content from a PDF.
Processed locally in your browser using PDF.js and pdf-lib. Your file is never uploaded.
Overview
Extracts the selectable text layer from a PDF. Scanned PDFs made of images only (with no text layer) will produce no output, since this doesn't perform OCR.
How to use it
- 1Upload a PDF.
- 2Extracted text appears in the output panel.
- 3Copy or download as .txt.
Tips
- If a scanned document produces no text, it's an image-only PDF — OCR (optical character recognition) would be needed, which this tool doesn't perform.
