PDF to Text

Extract selectable text from PDF pages and copy or download it as a TXT file. Free to use online with no sign-up. Fast and mobile-friendly.

This tool reads the PDF text layer locally in your browser. Scanned image-only PDFs may require OCR, which this tool does not perform.

Frequently asked questions

Is PDF to Text free to use?
Yes. The tool is free to use and does not require an account.
Is my input stored?
Browser-based tool inputs normally stay on your device. Tools that rely on an external reference-data service, such as currency exchange, request only the information needed for that lookup.
