one file at a time
Any size — there is no upload, so there is no limit.
Nothing leaves this device. Open your browser's Network tab and watch — your file never appears.
Nothing is uploadedYour browser opens the file and does the work. There is no server to send it to, so there is nothing to leak, log or delete later.
No account, no sign-upNothing to sign up for, and no cap on file size. Free runs one file at a time, forever. Pro takes a whole batch in one pass.
No upload, no waitingWork starts the moment you drop the file. A 40 MB photo does not have to travel to a data centre and back.
This reads text. It does not read pictures of text.
A PDF made from a word processor contains real text objects, and this page pulls them straight out. A PDF made by a scanner or a phone camera contains an image of a page — there is no text in the file at all, and extracting it needs OCR, which this page does not do. If you get an empty result, that is what happened, and the page tells you so plainly instead of handing you a blank file.
Layout is approximate, on purpose
A PDF stores each run of characters at a coordinate; it has no idea what a paragraph is. Line breaks here are inferred from vertical positions. Prose comes out well. Multi-column layouts and tables come out in reading order, not visual order, because that is the honest reconstruction of what the file actually contains.
Nothing is uploaded
Contracts and statements are exactly the documents worth not sending to a stranger's server. The parser runs in your browser. Here is how that is enforced.
How to extract the text from a PDF
- Drop in the PDF.
- Leave the page box blank for the whole document, or type a range.
- Press Extract text, then copy it off the page or save a .txt file.
