Frequently asked questions
Do scanned PDFs work?
No — the tool extracts the embedded text layer. Scanned documents (pure images) have no text layer and produce empty output; use OCR software first.
Is the layout preserved?
Text is extracted in reading order page by page. Complex multi-column layouts may read sequentially rather than by column.
Is my PDF uploaded?
Conversion happens in your browser with WebAssembly — your file never leaves your device, so nothing is uploaded or stored.
