Extract text from PDF
Extract text from a PDF in your browser — save selectable text as a .txt file. For scanned PDFs, use OCR instead. No upload, no signup.
Pull the selectable text out of a PDF and save it as a plain .txt file, without uploading the document. Works on PDFs where the text is embedded and selectable — not on scans or photos of pages. If your PDF is a scan, use the OCR tool instead, which recognizes text from images. Everything runs in your browser, so the file stays private. Free, no account, no watermark.
How it works
- Open a PDF with selectable text
- Extract the text
- Download a .txt file
