Best for PDFs with selectable text — not scanned photos
Common questions
- Will this work on scanned PDFs?
- Scanned PDFs are pictures of pages — there is no text layer to copy. Use PDF to JPG to save pages as images.
- Does formatting stay the same?
- You get plain text. Tables and columns may not line up perfectly — that is normal for text extraction.
- Do you store my PDF?
- No. Your file stays on your device. We never receive it.
- How is this different from PDF to Word?
- This tool extracts plain text only. It does not recreate Word layout — but it is free, private, and needs no upload.
