This PDF to text extractor uses Mozilla's pdf.js library to extract text from PDF files locally in your browser. No files are uploaded to any server, ensuring your document privacy.
Powered by pdf.js (Mozilla), the industry-standard PDF parsing library. All PDF parsing and text extraction happens entirely in your browser. For scanned/image-based PDFs, this tool extracts the existing text layer without OCR capabilities.
Completely safe. This tool uses the pdf.js library to process PDF files locally in your browser. Files are never uploaded to any server. All extraction happens locally, so you can safely process even sensitive documents.
Standard PDF files (PDF 1.0-2.0) are supported. This tool extracts text from text-based PDFs (where text can be selected). For scanned/image-based PDFs, only the encoded text layer is extracted without OCR capabilities.
For standard text-based PDFs, accuracy is near 100%. Accuracy depends on the PDF's encoding: text-based PDFs (where text is selectable) yield the best results. PDFs with special fonts or complex layouts may have minor character deviations.
Theoretically no strict limit, but subject to browser memory constraints. Files under 100MB are recommended. Very large PDFs may process slowly. All processing happens in memory without disk usage.
Non-standard font encoding or custom character mappings in the PDF may cause garbled output. PDFs with standard fonts (Times New Roman, Arial, etc.) work best. Encrypted or protected PDFs may not be extractable.
