Frequently Asked Questions

What types of PDFs are supported?

Our PDF to Text converter supports all standard PDF files. It works best with PDFs that contain actual text (not scanned images of text). For scanned PDFs, you may get better results using our Image to Text tool.

Is there a file size limit?

Yes, the maximum file size is 50MB. For larger files, we recommend splitting the PDF into smaller parts before uploading.

What's the difference between Plain Text and Formatted Text?

Plain Text extracts only the text content without attempting to preserve formatting. Formatted Text tries to maintain paragraph breaks, bullet points, and basic text structure, making it more readable but still without any styling.

Can I extract text from password-protected PDFs?

No, our tool cannot process password-protected or encrypted PDF files. You'll need to remove the password protection before uploading.

Is my data secure?

Yes, your privacy is protected. All processing is done in your browser, and no data is transmitted or stored on our servers. Your files never leave your computer.
