PDF → TXT · up to 25 MB per file
It takes a couple of seconds: drop a file into the window or pick it from your device, click “Convert” and download the ready TXT. Uploaded and generated files are deleted from the server automatically after 30 minutes.
Works with PDFs that have a text layer. Scanned image-only pages can’t be extracted — those need OCR.
Frequently asked questions
Can text be extracted from scans?
No. If the PDF is scanned images without a text layer, text can’t be extracted directly. The converter pulls text from normal (“digital”) PDFs.
Is PDF → TXT conversion free?
Yes, completely free with no limit on the number of conversions. No registration required.
What happens to my files?
Files are processed on our server and automatically deleted after 30 minutes. We never publish, share, or index them.
