Browser-based
Upload a PDF with an existing text layer and extract copyable text per page. This reads embedded text—it does not OCR scans. For image-only PDFs, use OCR PDF. Processing runs in your browser.
Results are based on the inputs you provide and may not cover every edge case. This tool is for general use and is not professional advice.
How to use this tool
1. Upload a PDF that already has a text layer (not a scan). 2. Click Extract text. 3. Browse per-page output in the results panel. 4. Copy all text or download as .txt if available. 5. Use OCR PDF instead when pages are image-only scans.
Worked example
Example: an 8-page annual report yields copyable paragraphs per page in seconds—no OCR needed because the publisher embedded real text.
