About PDF to Text Converter

What does PDF to Text Converter do?

Instantly convert PDF documents into editable text files (TXT) for easy copying and editing.

The PDF to Text Converter extracts all readable text from a PDF document and delivers it as a plain text file - right in your browser, with no software to install and nothing uploaded to a server. Upload your PDF and download the extracted text for use in any text editor, word processor, or application.

Extracting text from a PDF is essential when you need to copy, edit, search, or analyse the content without a PDF editor. It is also useful for importing PDF content into other documents, processing PDF data, or making a PDF accessible to screen readers.

How to Use:

  1. Upload the PDF you want to extract text from.
  2. The tool reads the document and extracts all text content.
  3. Preview the extracted text in the browser.
  4. Download the text as a .txt file.

Best For:

  • Extracting and editing text from a PDF without Acrobat
  • Copying large amounts of text from a multi-page PDF
  • Processing PDF data for analysis or import into other tools
  • Making PDF content searchable or accessible as plain text

FAQ:

Q: Does this work on scanned PDFs?

A: Scanned PDFs contain images rather than selectable text. For scanned documents, an OCR tool gives better results.

Q: Will the formatting (headings, tables) be preserved in the text output?

A: Plain text does not support rich formatting. The output contains raw text content without tables, fonts, or visual layout.

Q: Is my PDF uploaded to a server?

A: No. Text extraction runs locally in your browser.

Q: Can I extract text from a specific page range?

A: Yes. You can choose to extract text from the entire PDF or select specific pages.

Q: Is this tool free?

A: Yes, completely free with no subscription needed.
