Frequently Asked Questions
Will it work on scanned PDFs?
Only if the scan already has an OCR text layer. This tool does not perform OCR on image-only pages.
Can I extract only a few pages?
Yes. Enter page numbers or ranges such as 2-6,9.
Does it preserve the exact original layout?
It preserves useful line breaks, but complex multi-column layouts may be simplified in plain text.
Is the document uploaded?
No. Text extraction runs locally in your browser.
