    How to use PDF to Text

    1. Choose a supported file using the file picker or drag and drop.
    2. Set pages (for example 1,3-5; blank means all).
    3. Select Process, review the result, and download it.

    The method, explained

    Text items are read from each selected page in PDF content order, with page separators.

    A WORKED EXAMPLE

    Extract a text-based meeting agenda to edit its words in a text editor.

    What to keep in mind

    PDF tools accept unencrypted PDFs, up to 20 MB total and 200 pages. Editing may discard bookmarks, interactive forms, attachments or signatures. Keep an original copy. Text extraction is not OCR, and scanned pages may contain no text.

    Common questions

    Are my files uploaded?

    No. This tool processes files in your browser. Files are not sent to ClarityKit or an external API. Reset the tool or close the tab to release the working files.

    What should I do if processing fails?

    Check the supported formats and limits above. Try a smaller, unencrypted file and keep the tab open until the result is ready. Scanned pages need a separate OCR service.
