Everything you need to know before getting started
It works on PDFs with selectable text. If the PDF is a scanned document (image), use our OCR tool to extract text via optical character recognition.
Raw text is extracted while keeping reading order and marking each page. Visual formatting (bold, colors, columns) is not preserved — the output is a simple .txt.
Up to 50 MB on the free plan. Pro users can process larger files.
