Extract Text from PDF: Convert PDF to Text Online

PDF files are great for maintaining formatting, but they are notoriously difficult to edit or copy content from. Our **PDF Text Extractor** solves this problem by pulling all the text content from your document and saving it as a clean, editable plain text (TXT) file.

Whether you need to copy a paragraph for a report, analyze data, or migrate content to a website, our tool does the heavy lifting for you instantly and for free.

Why Convert PDF to Text?

• Editable Content: Once converted to TXT, you can open the content in Notepad, Word, or any text editor and make changes freely.
• Data Analysis: Text files are lightweight and easy to process with scripts or import into databases.
• Accessibility: Plain text is easier for screen readers to interpret compared to complex PDF layouts.
• File Size Reduction: A text file is often 99% smaller than its PDF counterpart, making it easier to share via email.

How to Extract Text from PDF Online

1. Upload: Drag and drop your PDF file into the tool.
2. Processing: Our server analyzes the document structure and extracts the text layer.
3. Copy or Download: You can copy the result directly from the preview box or download the full .txt file.

Text Extraction vs. OCR

It is important to know the difference:

• Text Extraction (This Tool): Works on "native" PDFs created by software like Word or Google Docs. It is fast and 100% accurate.
• OCR (Optical Character Recognition): Required for "scanned" PDFs (images). If our tool detects no text in your file, it will suggest using our OCR PDF Tool instead.
