Plain text
Extract text from a PDF
We read the text layer, not pixels. A photographed invoice with no fonts will come back empty — use OCR elsewhere for that.
How to use it
Drop the PDF
Born-digital files (exports, invoices with fonts) work.
Optional range
Leave blank for every page.
Copy or download
The text appears on the page. Download a .txt for your editor.
FAQ
Is this OCR?
No. OCR is a different product. We only read text that is already in the PDF.
Why is the order weird?
We sort runs top-to-bottom, then left-to-right. Multi-column layouts can interleave.
