PDF to text
Extract the text layer from a PDF in your browser, then count words or download a TXT file. Scanned pages are not OCR.
This text stays in the browser. It is not sent to the site.
Limitations
A PDF with no text layer returns an explanation, not invented text. Password-protected files stop with an error.
How it works
- Type, paste, or choose a local file when the tool asks for one.
- Review the count or the change.
- Copy or download. The source stays on this device.
