Extract Text from PDF: your questions answered
Why is my result empty?
Scanned PDFs contain pictures of text, not actual text. Use the PDF OCR tool for those — it reads the text out of the page images on your device.
Privacy
This tool runs entirely in your browser. Your file is processed on your device and is not uploaded to a server. You do not have to take that on trust — the monitor directly beneath the tool reads your browser’s own record of every request this tab made while your file was open.
