Copy all the text from a PDF to .txt, .docx, Markdown, HTML or JSON — with full control over pages, formatting and separators.
Everything happens in your browser — the PDF is never uploaded to any server. Paragraphs and headings are detected by position and font size, so PDFs with columns, complex tables or text inside images (scans) may not come out perfectly organized.
Choose the document you want to extract just the text from.
The text from all pages (or the pages you choose) is extracted, preserving the reading order.
View the text right on the page, copy it to the clipboard, or download it as a .txt file.
Only if the PDF already has a recognizable text layer beneath the image. For a PDF that's just a scanned image with no text, first use "Make PDF searchable" or "Multilingual OCR".
Reading order and paragraph breaks are preserved as well as possible, but the result is plain text — no bold, colors or font sizes, since those attributes don't exist in a .txt file.
Yes, you can choose to extract from all pages or only from a specific range.
No. All processing happens inside your own browser — the file never leaves your computer or passes through any external server. You can confirm this by disconnecting from the internet once the page has loaded: the tool keeps working normally.
No. PDFsy doesn't ask for sign-up, an account or payment — just open the page and use the tool.
