Frequently asked questions

Can it extract text from scanned PDFs?

It extracts the embedded text layer of a PDF. Purely scanned documents without a text layer (just images of text) won't yield selectable text without OCR.

Is formatting preserved?

Extraction focuses on the text content; complex layouts and styling may not carry over exactly, but the words are recovered for reuse.

Is my document private?

Yes. Text extraction runs in your browser and your file isn't uploaded.
