Everything you need to know about this tool
Upload your PDF above and click Extract. All text content is pulled from the document and presented as a plain text file. Download the result — no account needed, completely free.
You can choose to preserve the layout (keeping approximate positions and spacing) or extract pure text only. Layout preservation works best for simple documents; complex multi-column layouts may lose some structure.
