Cómo usar: PDF to Text

  1. Drop a PDF on the box.
  2. Choose Plain text or Markdown.
  3. Keep Join lines into paragraphs on to undo the PDF’s line wrapping.
  4. Copy the text or download it.

Clean text, not a jumble of lines

PDFs store text as positioned fragments, not paragraphs, which is why copying from a PDF viewer often gives broken lines and missing spaces. This extractor rebuilds lines from the positions of the text, joins wrapped lines into paragraphs, repairs words split with a hyphen at the end of a line, and in Markdown mode turns larger text into headings and bullet characters into lists.

Scanned PDFs

A scanned document is a picture of text, with no text inside. Pages like that are reported as empty; run them through PDF to Word (which has OCR) or Image to Text.

Private by design

Most online PDF services upload your document to their servers. This tool processes the file entirely in your browser with open-source libraries (pdf-lib and PDF.js), so contracts, invoices, bank statements and IDs never leave your device. It works offline once the page has loaded, and there are no file-count limits, watermarks or sign-ups.

Preguntas frecuentes

How do I extract text from a PDF?
Drop the PDF on the box. The text appears right away; copy it or download a .txt or .md file.
Why is a page empty?
That page is probably a scanned image without a text layer. Use PDF to Word with OCR, or Image to Text.
Can I convert a PDF to Markdown?
Yes. Choose Markdown: larger text becomes headings and bullet points become lists — handy for pasting into ChatGPT, Notion or GitHub.
Can I use a password-protected PDF?
No. Encrypted PDFs must be unlocked first — open the file in your PDF reader with the password and save or “print to PDF” an unprotected copy.
Are my PDF files uploaded?
No. Everything happens in your browser; the files never leave your device.
