Frequently asked questions
Can this extract text from scanned pages?
No. Scanned pages are images rather than selectable text, so they need OCR. This tool extracts text already stored in the PDF.
Is my PDF uploaded?
No. PDF.js reads the document locally in your browser; the file is not sent to our servers.
Is this tool really free?
Yes. It is free with no signup, no watermark and no daily limits.
Are my files uploaded to a server?
No. All processing happens in your browser, so your files never leave your device.
