How it works

Why is the result empty?

The PDF is probably a scan, with pictures of text. Use the Image to Text (OCR) tool on its pages.

Is my file uploaded to a server?

No. Everything happens inside your browser on your own device. Your files are never sent to us or anyone else.

Is it free?

Yes. It is free to use, with no signup, no watermark and no daily limit.
