Frequently Asked Questions

Can I edit the extracted text?+
Yes — the text appears in an editable field. Fix errors or trim content before downloading.
What is the word count for?+
Word count and character count help writers, translators and editors assess document size at a glance.
Will the layout be preserved?+
Plain text has no layout. Text is extracted in reading order with page markers (=== Page N ===) separating pages.
Does it work on scanned PDFs?+
Scanned PDFs have no text layer. This tool works best with digitally created PDFs. For scans, you need OCR.
