Frequently Asked Questions
How do I extract text from a PDF file?
Add your PDF and click Extract Text to get all readable text. The text can be copied to clipboard or downloaded as a .txt file.
Does it work with scanned PDFs?
Yes. If a PDF has no selectable text, the tool runs OCR on its pages. The first time, this downloads the recognition engine and language data (about 3 MB plus about 1.5 MB per language).
Is the text formatting preserved?
The tool extracts raw text content. Basic paragraph structure is maintained, but complex layouts, columns, and tables may need manual formatting.
