Everything you need to know about processing files securely in your browser
How does PDF to Text extraction work locally in my browser?
Our tool parses the binary stream of your PDF document using Mozilla's open-source PDF.js engine running right inside your web browser memory. It reads text objects, calculates character positions, and compiles them into plain text without sending any data over the internet.
Are my sensitive PDF documents uploaded to any server?
No, never. Unlike conventional web converters, 100% of the extraction takes place locally inside your device's browser sandbox. Your files never leave your computer or touch any external server.
Why does an extracted PDF result in blank or scrambled text?
If the extracted text is empty or contains strange characters, your PDF is likely a scanned document (image-only PDF) or uses custom encrypted font encodings. Scanned PDFs require Optical Character Recognition (OCR) to convert scanned images into readable text.
Can I extract text from a specific page range?
Yes! You can choose to extract text from all pages, specify a custom page range (such as '1-5, 8, 12-15'), or visually select the pages you want using our interactive page grid.
