Why Convert PDF to Text with PDFTool?
Easy to Use
Fast, straightforward processing
Text Ready to Reuse
Works in your browser
Extract the text from your PDF with PDFTool and save it as a text file. Convert reports, articles, or notes online so you can reuse the words without copying them one page at a time.
A plain-text file is easy to search and opens in almost any text editor. Use the extracted text in a new document, bring it into your notes, or prepare it for further processing in another application.
Text files keep the words without the PDF’s images, fonts, or page layout. If your PDF contains scanned pages, use OCR first to recognize the text in those images. You can then extract the recognized content into a text file.
PDFTool runs in your browser on a computer, tablet, or phone. Upload your PDF and let the converter handle the extraction. Once it is ready, sign in to download your text file and use the content wherever you need it.
