Convert as many documents as you need at zero cost — no page limits, no watermarks.
Text comes out in reading order, but plain .txt has no layout — columns merge into one flow and font styles disappear. For structure-preserving output, try our PDF to HTML tool instead.
Only if it contains a text layer. Scanned pages are images; if yours has searchable text underneath, it extracts fine — otherwise it needs OCR first.
A plain .txt file — the simplest, most portable text format there is. It opens in Notepad, TextEdit, Word, or anything else.
No hard limit. Extraction runs locally, so the practical ceiling is your device's memory — long documents process without trouble.
The tool works in all modern browsers including Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Microsoft Edge, Safari and Opera. We recommend keeping your browser up to date for the best experience.
