How it works

Why is there no text for some pages?

If a PDF is a scanned image (a photo of a document rather than typed text), there's no selectable text to extract — you'd need OCR software for that, which this tool doesn't do.

Is my file uploaded anywhere?

No — everything happens locally in your browser. Your PDF never leaves your device.
