❓ FAQ

Is the text kept in page order?

Yes — the extracted text is grouped under a heading for each page, in page order, so you always know which page a line came from. Pages with no text show "(no text on this page)".

What about scanned PDFs with no text layer?

Scanned image-only PDFs have no embedded text to extract, so those pages show "(no text on this page)". For scanned documents you need OCR software instead — this tool only reads text already inside the PDF.

Are my PDFs uploaded anywhere?

No. Your files are processed in your browser only — they are never uploaded to any server.

Is this PDF text extractor free?

Yes — 100% free, no sign-up, no limits on the number of pages.
