Frequently Asked Questions
No. Text extraction runs entirely in your browser. Your PDF stays on your device.
Scanned PDFs are images, not text. This tool extracts embedded text only. OCR (optical character recognition) is not supported.
The output is plain text. Formatting like bold, columns, and tables is not preserved — only the raw text content.
Any language that is embedded as text in the PDF is extracted as-is. The tool does not perform any translation or language detection.
