Pull all selectable text out of a PDF and copy or download it as plain text. Perfect for quoting reports, reusing content and feeding AI tools.
Extract Text from PDF pulls every piece of selectable text out of a document and lets you copy it or download it as a plain .txt file. It's the fastest way to reuse the contents of a report, quote a passage accurately, or feed a PDF's text into another tool such as an AI assistant that doesn't accept PDFs directly.
The extraction reads the document page by page in its original order and inserts page separators, so you can trace any extracted line back to where it appeared in the source file. Because the PDF is processed locally in your browser, there's no upload step and no limit on how many times you can run it — useful when you're working through a stack of reports rather than a single file.
Text is extracted in document order with page separators included, so you always know which passage came from which page.
There's no artificial page cap — a 5-page memo and a 200-page report are processed the same way, entirely in the browser.
Grab the text straight to your clipboard for a quick paste, or save it as a plain text file for archiving or further editing.
If a PDF is a scan or was created from a photograph, it has no underlying text layer — only pixels laid out like text. Run those files through the PDF OCR tool, which recognises the characters visually and returns text you can copy.
Extracted text keeps line breaks and paragraph order but drops visual formatting like tables, columns and fonts, since it's designed to capture the words, not replicate the layout.
Multi-column pages and text wrapped around images can occasionally extract in an unexpected reading order. For those cases, check the output against the original PDF before relying on it for anything formal.
Those files are scans or images with no text layer. Run them through the PDF OCR tool, which recognises the characters visually and returns copyable text.
