Convert any PDF to text right in your browser: it pulls every page into plain, copyable text and even runs OCR on scanned PDFs. Free, no watermark, no sign-up — just upload and grab your .txt.
Three quick steps — no software, no account, works on any device.
Launch the free PDF to Text tool in any browser. There's nothing to download and no sign-up.
Drop in your PDF and it instantly extracts the text — running OCR automatically on scanned or image pages.
Copy the plain text straight from the page, or download a clean .txt file ready to edit anywhere.
Pulls all the text from your whole PDF — every page, in order — into one copyable plain-text block you can paste into any editor or app.
Pulls the embedded text layer, or runs OCR on scanned and image-only PDFs, so you get selectable, copyable text — all in your browser, nothing uploaded.
No watermark, no sign-up, no email. Works in the browser on iPhone, Android, Windows and Mac, with files handled securely.
No upload — everything runs entirely in your browser on your own device, so your files never leave your computer and are never sent to any server. That makes it free and unlimited, with no sign-up and no watermark, and safe for sensitive documents like tax returns, contracts, IDs and medical records.
No — this tool extracts your document's text layer (or uses OCR for scans), so there is no image re-compression and your text comes through cleanly. Your original PDF is never modified.
Open the PDF to Text tool, upload your PDF, and it instantly pulls every page of text into a plain, copyable box. Copy it or download a .txt file — free, with no watermark and no sign-up.
Yes. When a PDF has no selectable text, the tool automatically runs OCR (optical character recognition) on each page, so even scanned documents and photos of pages become copyable text.
The output is plain text, so fonts, colours, columns and images are dropped on purpose. You get clean, editable words you can paste anywhere — ideal for editing, quoting, or feeding into another app.
Yes. Your file is handled securely, never published, and no account or email is required. There is no watermark and nothing is shared — you just get your text back.
Yes. The tool runs in any mobile or desktop browser, so you can extract and copy text from a PDF on iPhone, iPad, Android, Windows or Mac with no app to install.
You can process PDFs up to 300 pages or 60 MB per file, including scanned documents that need OCR — all completely free.
Extract the embedded text layer, or run OCR on scanned and image-only PDFs, to get selectable, copyable text. It runs in your browser, so confidential documents never leave your device.
Yes. EZ PDF Editor uses in-browser OCR to recognise the words in a scanned or photographed PDF and turn them into real, selectable text you can copy and reuse. It works on iPhone, Android, Windows and Mac with no app to install and no cost.
The tool pulls the readable text from each page in reading order so paragraphs and line breaks are preserved as closely as possible. Complex columns or tables may flow differently, but the words come out accurately so you can paste them into any document or editor.
Yes. Your PDF is processed securely in your own browser, never sold or shared, and no account or email is required. Extract text from confidential reports, invoices or statements completely free on any device, with no watermark and no sign-up.
