In-browser tool

PDF to text converter

Extract all text from a PDF into a plain .txt file — right in your browser.

Extracts the text layer in your browser — layout and images aren't kept, and scanned PDFs have no text to extract.

How it works

Drop your PDF

Get a .txt file

Download the result — nothing was uploaded

Does it keep the layout?

It extracts the text content. Layout, columns and images are not preserved — you get the readable text of each page.

Does it work on scanned PDFs?

No. Scanned or image-only PDFs have no text layer, so there is nothing to extract (OCR is not included).

Is my file uploaded to a server?

No. This tool runs entirely in your browser. You can open your browser's network tab and verify no request carries your file.
