How to use PDF to Text

Why is no text found?

Scanned PDFs are images of text. Use Image to Text (OCR) on the pages.

Is formatting kept?

Only plain text is extracted — fonts, tables and layout aren't.

Is it free?

Yes.

Turn PDF pages into sharp JPG or PNG images — pick the pages and resolution, download as ZIP.

Pull editable text out of photos, screenshots and scans — in 90+ languages, without uploading anything.

Break a PDF into single pages, custom ranges or equal parts — download them all as a ZIP.

Combine several PDFs into a single file — drag to reorder, preview every file, nothing uploaded.

Make PDFs small enough to email or upload — images re-compressed, file optimized, all in your browser.

See every page, drag to reorder, rotate or delete pages and save a new PDF — all in your browser.
