Pull every word out of a PDF into plain text you can copy or download. Runs in your browser using Mozilla's PDF.js — no upload, instant results.
Need to copy text out of a PDF into a Word doc, email, or spreadsheet, but the PDF blocks easy selection or spans dozens of pages? This tool reads the PDF's internal text layer directly and extracts every word into plain text.
Using Mozilla's PDF.js engine inside your browser, the tool walks through each page collecting text content, then displays it ready to copy or download. Since nothing is uploaded, this works safely even for confidential reports and contracts.
Choose your PDF and the tool automatically reads every page and displays the extracted text. Copy it directly or click Download as .txt.
Only if the scanned PDF has a text layer (from OCR). Purely image-based scans have no embedded text to extract — this tool reads existing text, it does not perform OCR.
No — the output is plain text. Layout, fonts, and table structure are not preserved, only the words themselves in reading order.
This version extracts all pages at once; the full text is shown together in reading order.
No. Text extraction happens entirely in your browser using PDF.js. Nothing is sent to a server.
