About PDF to Text

Pull the readable text out of a PDF and save it as a plain .txt file — useful for quoting, searching, or feeding text into other tools. We extract page by page with mupdf and join it into one file.

Extraction runs entirely in your browser via WebAssembly. Your document never leaves your device, which matters for confidential PDFs. Scanned PDFs without embedded text won't yield characters.
