PDF to text

The words out of a PDF as clean text or Markdown: paragraphs put back together, broken words mended, headings and lists kept. Copy them or save a file.

Paragraphs, not lines

A PDF stores lines, not sentences. Lines that run on are joined back into paragraphs, and words split by a hyphen at the end of a line are mended.

Ready for Markdown

Choose Markdown and larger type becomes headings, bold lines stay bold and bullets become lists: ready for notes apps, wikis and AI tools.

Never uploaded

The text is read in this tab, so contracts, statements and reports never leave your device.
