Extracted Text
Choose pages and a mode, then select Extract Text.
Runs locally in your browser. The PDF, its text and any password are never uploaded. OCR is approximate and reading order is inferred from layout. The first OCR run downloads the OCR engine from this site.
PDF to Text & OCR
Extract text from digital and scanned PDFs in your browser. Uses the text layer first and OCR only when needed. Add one PDF, choose a page range, extraction mode and OCR language, then select Extract Text. Browse pages in the preview, switch between Text and JSON, and copy or download the current page or all selected pages.
Extraction Mode
Auto reads the digital text layer and runs OCR only on pages with no usable text. Text Layer never runs OCR. Force OCR renders and recognizes every selected page even when digital text exists.
OCR Language
Used by OCR only. Auto picks English or Indonesian from the first OCR page; it is not general language detection. Digital text in any language is read directly.
Privacy
Everything runs locally. The PDF, its text and any password stay in this browser tab. The OCR engine and English/Indonesian language files load from this site; there is no remote OCR fallback.
Limits
Up to 100 MB per file and 500 selected pages per run (any pages of a longer file). OCR is approximate and reading order is reconstructed from layout. Only mode, language and output preferences are saved. Limits: 100 MB per file · 500 selected pages per run · OCR renders up to 16 MP per page.
