Good to know about PDF to Text
Line breaks follow the PDF's lines, and pages are separated by a blank line. Scanned PDFs contain pictures of text rather than text. For those, convert to PNG and then use Image to Text.
Everything happens in your browser: your files aren't uploaded, stored or seen by anyone, and there's nothing to install.
Questions
Is it safe to convert PDF files here?
Yes. Your PDF files are converted inside your own browser and are never uploaded to a server, so nobody else can see them. It works just as well for private or work documents.
Can I convert several PDF files at once?
Yes. Add as many as you like, then press Convert. When they're done you can download them one by one, or all together as a single .zip.
Is it really free?
Yes, with no sign-up, watermarks or daily limits. The site is paid for by ads, which you can turn off in Cookie settings.
