Pull every word out of a PDF into a plain text file — reusable, searchable and free of formatting clutter.
Select your PDF — drag it into the tool or click Select PDF to browse.
Start the extraction. The text layer is pulled out of every page.
Review the plain text output, in reading order.
Copy it or download the .txt file for later use.
Built for speed, privacy and reliability — on any device.
Words come out in reading order, stripped of layout clutter and ready to reuse.
The .txt opens in any editor — search it, rewrite it, feed it to other tools.
Extraction runs locally — the document never reaches a server.
One page or two hundred, the whole file gets processed in one pass.
No account, no watermark, no daily cap.
Add the PDF to the tool above and start the extraction. The full text comes out as plain text you can copy or download — free, no account.
Sometimes you can. But many PDFs restrict copying, and copy-paste from readers often mangles line breaks. Extraction gives you clean, continuous text.
No — scans are pictures of text, not text. This tool reads the PDF's real text layer. For scanned pages you'd need OCR software.
Text extraction intentionally strips formatting — that's the point. You get the words, not the layout. Use PDF to Word if you need formatting preserved.
No. The extraction runs entirely in your browser, so the document never leaves your device.
Quote sources, reuse content, run searches, translate passages, or feed the text into summaries and other tools.
