When this tool is useful
Copying readable text from digitally generated reports, articles, invoices, and notes for search or editing.
How local processing works
The browser reads each page's text items, joins them in an approximate reading order, separates pages, and creates a UTF-8 plain-text download.
How to use it
- Choose the source files.
- Review the available settings and page order.
- Process locally, inspect the result, and download it.
Important limitations
There is no OCR, so image-only scans may return little or no text. Multi-column layouts, tables, equations, custom encodings, and positioned fragments can appear in an imperfect reading order, and formatting is not preserved.
Private by design
Your files stay in this browser. The tool does not upload the source or output to our servers.
Questions and answers
Does this tool upload my files?

Will the output always match the source exactly?
