What types of PDFs can I extract text from?

This tool works with PDFs that contain actual text (not scanned images). If your PDF is a scanned document, you'll need OCR (Optical Character Recognition) to extract text.

Will the formatting be preserved?

The tool extracts plain text with basic formatting like line breaks and paragraphs. Complex formatting like fonts, colors, and tables may not be perfectly preserved.

Can I extract text from password-protected PDFs?

No, you'll need to remove the password protection first using our PDF Unlock tool.

Is this tool free to use?

Yes! This tool is completely free with no hidden costs, subscriptions, or limitations. Use it as often as you need.

Absolutely. All processing happens locally in your browser. Your data never leaves your device and is not stored on any server.

What's the maximum file size?

The tool accepts PDFs up to 100MB. Files larger than 50MB will show a warning as they may take longer to process, but will still work.
