Frequently asked questions

How do I copy text out of a PDF?

Upload the PDF and the tool pulls out its text content immediately, which you can copy to your clipboard or download as a .txt file.

Why does text extraction return nothing for my PDF?

If the PDF is a scanned image with no underlying text layer, there's no text to extract; this tool reads existing text rather than performing OCR.
