How to extract text from a PDF

  1. Add your PDF.
  2. Click Extract.
  3. Download the .txt file.
Are my files safe?

Yes. Your files are only used to create your result — they’re never shared and never used to train AI.

My PDF is a scan — the text is empty.

Scanned pages are pictures of text, which these tools can't read yet — OCR (text recognition) is coming soon.
