# PDF text extractor

Canonical page: https://nepocore.com/tools/pdf-to-text/

Extract an existing PDF text layer into readable text with page separators, then copy or download a TXT file.

## How to use it

1. Choose the PDF documents or images from your device.
2. Arrange files or enter the pages and layout options.
3. Create the document and download the finished PDF.

## Example

Extract the text from a digital handout, preserving page boundaries for proofreading.

## Limits and checks

Reading order depends on the PDF. Image-only scans need OCR; this extractor does not recognize letters inside photographs.

## Access and processing

Free to use without an account. Interactive processing requires JavaScript in a modern browser. Input is processed in the browser rather than sent to a processing server. Optional browser storage is not a synchronized account.
