Common Questions
Does it work on scanned PDFs?
It extracts text that is digitally encoded in the PDF. Scanned PDFs (which are images of pages) do not contain selectable text, so extraction will return little or nothing from them.
Is the extracted text editable?
Yes. Once extracted, you can edit the text directly in the tool before copying or downloading it.
Is it free?
Yes, completely free with no page limit and no signup.
