Copying text out of a PDF by hand loses the reading order the moment the layout has more than one column. Extraction reads the text objects and reconstructs the flow, so what you get is the document's content rather than a scramble of column fragments.

It works on PDFs that contain real text. A scan has none, so run OCR on it first.

How it works

  1. Open the PDF.
  2. Let the text layer be read and the reading order reconstructed.
  3. Review the extracted text.
  4. Copy it or download it as a plain text file.

What people use it for

  • Feeding a document's content into a note-taking app or an editor.
  • Counting words or searching a long report offline.
  • Preparing text for translation or summarisation.

Frequently asked questions

Is my file uploaded to a server?
No. The file is opened by JavaScript and WebAssembly running inside your own browser tab. It is never uploaded, there is no server-side processing and nothing is stored — closing the tab discards everything.
Nothing was extracted.
The PDF has no text layer — it is a scan or an exported image. Run the OCR tool first to create one.
The text order is wrong.
Complex layouts with sidebars, pull quotes and footnotes are ambiguous even to a human eye reading raw coordinates. Multi-column body text is handled; heavily designed pages may need manual cleanup.
Can I keep the formatting?
Not here — this returns plain text. For bold, headings and structure use Extract Markdown, or convert to Word.
