How to use it

Add a PDF, choose pages and separators, then extract the text layer. Scanned images without text are not recognized.

Recommended settings

Keep page headings when you need references. Use blank separators for reading and page-break separators for later parsing.

Privacy

Your files are not uploaded to a server. The editor runs in your browser with local libraries from this site.

Limits

Large images can take longer on phones. If the browser slows down, process fewer files at once or choose a smaller output format.
