How It Works

Upload your PDF
Drag and drop or click to browse. Supports any digital PDF up to 50MB.
2
Text is extracted in your browser
Your PDF never leaves your computer. Text extraction happens locally using pdf.js — the same engine Firefox uses.
3
Download as .txt
Preview the extracted text, then download. Ready for copy-paste, further processing, or feeding into other tools.
FAQ
Is my PDF uploaded to a server?
No. Text extraction happens entirely in your browser. Your file never leaves your computer.
Does it work with scanned PDFs?
This tool extracts embedded text from digital PDFs. For scanned/image PDFs, you need OCR — try our bank statement converter which uses AI to read scanned documents.
Is there a file size limit?
50MB per file. Since processing happens in your browser, larger files may take a few seconds depending on your device.
Can I extract text from multiple PDFs?
Convert them one at a time here for free. Need batch processing? Scramjet Pro ($19/mo) lets you convert hundreds via API or scheduled pipeline.
Need more than text extraction?
Scramjet pipelines go beyond conversion: extract → AI enrich → filter → output to webhook, Slack, or API. All in one YAML file.
