Frequently asked questions
Is PDF to Text free?
Yes. It is completely free, with no signup and no watermark.
Are my files uploaded to a server?
No. Processing happens in your browser, so your documents stay on your device.
Is there a file size limit?
There is no fixed limit. Very large files depend on your device memory, so close other tabs if a big file is slow.
Why did no text come out?
The file is probably a scanned image, which needs OCR technology.
Does it support Arabic?
It extracts Arabic text present in the file, though letter order can be affected by how the file was built.
