Extract existing text from a PDF

The tool reads text content page by page and keeps clear separators between pages.

Scanned PDFs and OCR

This version does not include OCR. If every page is a photograph, there may be no selectable text to extract.

Result format

Line breaks and Unicode are preserved reasonably, but exact layout is not promised. Copy or download TXT. Processing happens locally in your browser: the file is not uploaded to Utilsha.

Frequently asked questions

Does it recognize text inside photos?

No. That requires OCR and is not included.
