FAQ
Questions about PDF to Text
Does it keep the layout?+
Choose “Keep layout” to preserve columns and spacing, or “Reading order” for clean paragraphs ideal for pasting into other apps.
My PDF produces empty text. Why?+
It is probably a scan. Run OCR PDF first, which adds a real text layer, then extract.
Can I separate pages?+
Yes, tick “Page separators” to insert a marker between pages.
Are my files uploaded anywhere?+
No. Everything runs in your browser; your file never leaves your device.
