About PDF to Text
PDF to Text reads the text layer of a PDF and shows it in a box you can copy from or save as a .txt file. Page markers are optional. It works with PDFs created from Word, web pages and most digital documents.
Scanned PDFs: if your PDF is a scan or a photo, it has no text layer to extract. You would need OCR (optical character recognition) software first. We tell you clearly when no text is found.

Frequently asked questions
Why did it find no text?
The PDF is probably a scan or a set of images. Those need OCR software to recognise the letters.
Is the layout preserved?
Lines and paragraphs are kept in reading order, but complex layouts such as tables and columns may come out as plain lines.
Can I extract text in Hindi?
Yes, if the PDF stores Hindi as text. Some older Hindi PDFs use custom fonts that produce garbled characters when extracted. That is a limitation of those files.
Is my text uploaded?
No. Extraction happens in your browser.
