PDF Extract Text

Pull all readable text out of a PDF — every page, in order — using PDF.js. Instant processing. Copy to clipboard or download as .txt. For image-based / scanned PDFs use the OCR tool instead.

Local extraction via PDF.js. Works for text-based PDFs (Word exports, reports). For scanned / image-based PDFs use the OCR tool — text extraction returns nothing because there is no embedded text layer.

Why the PDF Extract Text is different

Browser-native

The PDF Extract Text runs entirely in your browser. Input is processed locally — never uploaded, never logged, never cached anywhere outside your device.

No artificial limits

No daily quotas, no character ceilings, no "upgrade for more" walls. Every feature is the complete feature — the same on the first use as the thousandth.

Production-grade quality

Built to the same engineering bar as paid SaaS tools — accurate algorithms, audited logic, responsive design and accessibility-tested interactions.

Use Contexts

Common use contexts

  • Reusing report content
  • Quoting from PDFs
  • Preparing text for AI summarisation
  • Accessibility / screen-reader prep
Privacy by design

Private and secure

Zero upload

All processing happens in your browser. Input is never transmitted, logged or cached.

Works offline

Once the page loads, the tool runs without an internet connection. No network calls happen during use.

No tracking

No accounts, no cookies for tool state. Only aggregate analytics count visits at the page level.
