Common questions

Does this work on scanned PDFs?

Text extraction reads the embedded text layer. Scanned documents without a text layer have no text to extract — for those, use PDF to PNG and an OCR tool.

What do I get back?

Clean, ordered plain text covering every page — no layout artifacts, no column jumbling beyond what the source file contains.

Is extraction free?

The first run is free with no account. Regular use starts at $5/month.
