Extract text from PDF files directly in your browser
The tool enables users to extract readable content from PDF documents into plain text format. The system will extract words from your uploaded file in their original sequence before creating a basic text file for you to download. The output works for search functions, and users can edit it while they translate and create quick notes. The system operates within your web browser. Your PDF stays on your device while the text is processed. No outside server reads the document. The feature proves helpful when users need to handle reports, study materials, and internal documents. Paragraph breaks stay in place as much as possible. The output opens in any text editor. The text content allows users to copy specific sections, and they can also remove unwanted lines before running scripts or other tools. The method saves time because it eliminates the need for manual typing from the PDF.
Great for search indexing, quick summaries, translation pipelines, or feeding scripts and LLMs. Plain text is lightweight and easy to diff or version-control.
If your PDF is a scan, crisp originals matter. High-contrast, deskewed pages with readable fonts extract far cleaner than low-res copies. Run one page first to gauge quality.
All extraction runs in your browser—helpful for internal reports, research notes, or client docs. Clear files when done on shared devices.
