Is this PDF to text converter free?

Yes, 100% free forever. No signup, no premium tier, no daily limit, no per-file charge. Convert as many PDFs as you want, as often as you want. The service is ad-supported so it stays free for everyone.

Do I need an account to convert PDF to text?

No. No signup, no login, no email, no captcha. Open the page, drop your PDF, click convert, done.

Is my PDF uploaded to a server?

No. The entire extraction runs locally in your browser. Your file never leaves your device — there is no server-side copy because we don't have a server for your files.

Can I convert a scanned PDF to text?

Not with this tool alone. We extract the text layer that's already embedded in the PDF. If your PDF is a scan (pure image with no text layer), the extraction will return nothing. Scanned PDFs need OCR — we don't ship OCR on this page because doing it well needs Tesseract.js (2MB+ download) and deserves its own dedicated tool. We're honest about the limit rather than silently returning garbage.

Can I convert multiple PDFs at once?

Yes. Drop as many PDFs as you want. Each becomes its own .txt file named after the source PDF. All downloads appear as individual files on the ready screen — no ZIP.

Which output style should I pick?

Standard (the default) inserts a form-feed character between pages, matching the Unix pdftotext command. Joined strips page breaks and gives you a single flowing text — best for pasting into ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, or any LLM where extra whitespace confuses the tokenizer. Numbered prefixes every page with '--- Page N ---' so a human reading the .txt can tell where one page ends and the next begins.

How do I feed a PDF to ChatGPT?

Drop your PDF here, pick Joined mode, download the .txt, and paste its contents into your ChatGPT / Claude / Gemini prompt. Joined mode removes the form-feed page breaks so the LLM doesn't waste tokens parsing them. For very long PDFs, consider chunking the text before feeding — most models have an 8K–200K token context window.

Will the extracted text preserve the PDF layout?

Roughly, yes — columns, line breaks, and reading order are preserved when the PDF has a proper text layer. Complex layouts (two-column magazines, table-heavy reports) sometimes interleave oddly; that's a limitation of text extraction from any engine, not just ours. For perfect layout fidelity use PDF to Word instead (our sibling /pdf-to-word.html page).

Is there a file size limit?

No artificial limit. Files up to a few hundred megabytes convert without trouble. Text extraction is much lighter than image conversion, so even a 1000-page PDF usually finishes in seconds on a modern laptop.

Does the output have a watermark?

No. Your .txt is exactly the text from your PDF, nothing added. No watermark, no branding, no 'converted with…' line.

Can I copy text from a PDF this way?

Yes. Drop the PDF, pick Joined mode, click convert, and the .txt contains every word from every page ready to copy anywhere. Much faster than Ctrl+A-ing page by page inside a PDF viewer.

Does it work offline?

Yes, once the page has loaded. The converter runs entirely in your browser so you can disconnect and keep working.

Bvisa mavara kubva kune imwe kana akawanda PDFs mubrowser yako - matatu ekubuda masitaera, hapana kurodha, hapana kusaina

Drop one or more PDFs onto the page. Every file is parsed locally in your browser and returned as a clean .txt — in your choice of three styles: Standard (Unix-style form-feed between pages), Joined (clean flowing text, best for feeding into ChatGPT / Claude / any LLM), or Numbered (each page prefixed with --- Page N --- for easy reading). 100% in-browser — your PDF never leaves your device.

Iwo Matatu Mabudiro Mataira, Akatsanangurwa

Standard - iyo Unix default

Each page's text is followed by a form-feed character (\f, ASCII 12) before the next page begins. This is exactly what the command-line pdftotext utility produces — so anything downstream (Python scripts, awk pipelines, older text editors) treats the output identically. Pick this when you're replacing a pdftotext run.

Joined — yekunyora neLLM

Every page break is removed. Pages are separated by a blank line, not a form-feed. The result is one flowing text — ideal for pasting into ChatGPT / Claude / Gemini / any LLM, because those models don't parse \f usefully and each one of those characters costs a token.

Inoverengwa - yekuverenga kwevanhu

Each page is prefixed with --- Page N --- on its own line so you can navigate the .txt in a regular text editor and still see where one page ends and the next begins. Useful for reviewing extracted text manually, or attaching text alongside the original PDF for reference.

Zvakakosha: Yakaongororwa PDFs Inoda OCR

If your PDF is a scan — pure images of text with no embedded text layer — this converter will return nothing (or very little). We extract the text that's already in the PDF. Converting images of text to text requires OCR (optical character recognition), which needs a 2MB+ library and deserves its own dedicated tool. We're honest about that limit instead of silently running a weak OCR and returning garbage. To test: open your PDF in any viewer and try selecting text with your mouse. If text highlights, this converter will extract it. If the page highlights as one giant image, you need OCR.
