Why convert PDF to text?

Extracting text from PDFs helps with quoting, summarizing, repurposing content, and indexing documents. It is useful for research notes, job descriptions, reports, and contracts where you need the raw text quickly. This tool works best on PDFs that already contain selectable text.

Upload your PDF, choose whether to include page separators, and click extract. You can copy the output text directly or download a TXT file. Processing runs in your browser for privacy.
