PDF Text Extractor

Copy the text layer out of a PDF into plain, editable text.

Copying text straight from a PDF viewer usually drags along broken line breaks and stray hyphens. This extractor walks through the document's text layer page by page and rebuilds it as clean plain text, with a clear marker between pages so you can still tell where each one started. You can read the result on screen, copy it, or save it as a .txt file for a word processor or a translation tool. Scanned documents that contain only pictures of text have no text layer, and the tool will say so rather than return nonsense. Extraction happens entirely in your browser.

How to use the PDF Text Extractor

  1. Upload the PDF you want to read from.
  2. Press Extract Text and wait while each page is processed.
  3. Copy the text from the box or download it as a .txt file.
