PDF to Text

Extract all the text from a PDF as plain text — copy it or download a .txt file. Runs entirely in your browser, your PDF is never uploaded.

Drop files here or Select a filePDF — max 25MB

Works on PDFs that contain real text. Scanned or image-only PDFs have no text layer to extract (that would need OCR).

Pages are separated by a blank line, in reading order.

Everything runs locally in your browser — your PDF is never uploaded.
