Questions
Is it private?
Yes. Your files are processed inside your own browser and are never uploaded to our server or anyone else’s. Close the page and they are gone.
Is it free?
Completely free, with no sign-up, no watermark and no limit on how many times you use it. Light ads keep the site running.
Why is no text found?
The PDF is probably scanned pictures of pages. Turn the pages into images with PDF to Image, then read them with Image to Text (OCR).
Is the layout kept?
Line breaks are kept; columns and tables become plain lines of text.
