How to Convert PDF to Text

Upload your PDF file and click Submit. The tool extracts all readable text - including from scanned pages using OCR - and shows it in a box you can copy with one click. No software installation, no sign-up.

Why Extract Text from PDFs?

PDFs are great for sharing but painful for editing. Extracting the text lets you quote from reports and research papers, reuse content from old documents that only exist as scans, make document text searchable, and convert printed forms into editable text. Students use it for study notes, office workers for data entry from scanned invoices, and researchers for processing published papers.

Getting the Best Results

For scanned PDFs, higher scan resolution means better OCR accuracy - 300 DPI is ideal. Documents with clean, standard fonts extract almost perfectly; handwriting and decorative fonts are harder. If your PDF has multiple columns, check the extracted text order before using it.
