Frequently Asked Questions

No. Text extraction runs entirely in your browser.
Does this work with scanned PDFs?
No. Scanned PDFs contain images, not text. You need an OCR tool for those.
Will formatting be preserved?
Basic text content is extracted. Complex formatting like tables may lose structure.
What encoding is the output?
The output is UTF-8 plain text.
Is there a page limit?
No. All pages are processed.
