PDF to text extractor

Every word out of a PDF and into your clipboard or a .txt file — extracted on your own device.

One PDF · text is extracted on your device, nothing is uploaded — scans get on-device OCR

No size limit · files are processed on your device and never uploaded · how it works

Runs in your browser. Files are never uploaded — you can go offline after the page loads.

How to use the PDF to Text

  1. Drop one PDF.
  2. The full text extracts in seconds, with page breaks marked and a word count.
  3. Copy it to the clipboard or download a .txt file.

Easy to use

Drop files, pick options, download. Whole folders at once, no signup, no daily limit.

Best quality

The same engines the professionals use — SVGO, resvg, MozJPEG, libwebp, libavif — compiled to run in your browser.

Private & secure

Files are processed on your device and never uploaded. Close the tab and nothing remains anywhere.

Where extracted text goes

Quoting a contract, feeding a document to a translation or AI tool, indexing reports, reusing copy from an old brochure — plain text is the universal interchange. Extraction runs on pdf.js in your browser, so confidential documents stay on your device.

The scan caveat, up front

A PDF made from Word, a web page or an export carries a real text layer and extracts perfectly. A PDF made by a scanner is photographs of pages — there is no text in it to extract, and reading it requires OCR, which this tool does not do yet. If you get the "no selectable text" message, that is what happened. For page images instead of text, use PDF to JPG.

Frequently asked questions

Can it read scanned PDFs?

Yes — when a PDF has no text layer (it is photographs of pages), the tool offers on-device OCR: pages are rendered at 300 DPI and recognised by the Tesseract engine running in your browser, in English, Hindi, Spanish, French or German. Even scans never leave your device.

Does the layout survive?

Line breaks are reconstructed and page breaks are marked, but columns, tables and formatting flatten to plain text — that is the nature of .txt, and usually exactly what pasting into another tool wants.

Is my document uploaded?

No — text extraction runs on pdf.js in your browser. Contracts and statements never leave your device.

Your files never leave your device

Most online converters upload your file to a server. InfyTool ships the actual encoders to your browser as WebAssembly instead, so processing happens inside your tab — faster for batches, and nothing to delete afterwards.

  • No upload, ever. Turn off Wi-Fi after the page loads and every tool keeps working.
  • No limits. No file-size cap, no queue, no watermark, no account.
  • Runs on your CPU. Batches use several cores in parallel; nothing is throttled.
