Frequently asked questions

Is my PDF uploaded?

No — text extraction runs entirely in your browser.

Does it work on scanned PDFs?

This tool reads the text layer of digital PDFs. If your PDF is a scan or photo there is no text layer to read — use the OCR tool instead, which recognises the words from the image. It is free and also runs entirely in your browser.
