Frequently Asked Questions

Why is my PDF showing no text?

If your PDF is scanned or image-based, it doesn't contain actual text data. You would need OCR (Optical Character Recognition) software to extract text from such documents.

Will the formatting be preserved?

Basic text content is extracted. Complex formatting like tables, columns, and special layouts may not be perfectly preserved as PDFs store visual layout separately from text content.

Is my PDF secure?

Yes! All processing happens in your browser. Your PDF is never uploaded to any server, ensuring complete privacy.
