About Extract Text from PDF
Extract selectable text from a PDF using pdf.js. Best with text-based PDFs; scanned/image-only PDFs need OCR which is not included.
Extract Text from PDF runs entirely in your browser using PDF Tools technology. Your files are processed locally and never uploaded to a server — there is no cloud, no storage, and no account required. Nothing about your file is sent anywhere.
