Extract all text content from any PDF file instantly. Copy or download as TXT. Supports all languages. Works entirely in your browser — no upload needed.

Upload any PDF and instantly extract all readable text content. The extracted text is displayed in a clean textarea where you can review, copy or download it as a text file. Page numbers are shown for easy navigation.

Frequently Asked Questions

What types of PDFs can I extract text from?

Text extraction works with digitally created PDFs (Word exports, generated PDFs). Scanned PDFs (images of text) require OCR — try our Image to Text tool instead.

Does it support Arabic and other languages?

Yes, text extraction supports all languages including Arabic, Chinese, Japanese and any other language present in the PDF.

Will the formatting be preserved?

Plain text is extracted without formatting. Tables may appear as space-separated columns, and some layout elements may not translate perfectly to plain text.

Can I extract text from a password-protected PDF?

No. You need to remove password protection first before extracting text.
