How PDF → Text works

Extract selectable text from a PDF in your browser. Scanned PDFs without a text layer may return nothing. Runs locally in your browser.

  1. 1. Add input. Paste, type, or upload. Use a sample if you just want to see it work.
  2. 2. Run it. Processing happens in the browser.
  3. 3. Copy or download. Take the output and close the tab.
  • Export as .txt
Why is the output empty?
Scanned/image-only PDFs have no text layer. Use OCR elsewhere, or try PDF → Image.

ToolBay does not store your input. Close the tab and it is gone. More documents tools.
