FAQ
Can I extract text from a scanned PDF?
No. Scanned PDFs store text as images, so extraction isn't possible. Only regular PDFs where you can select text are supported.
Could the text order differ from the original?
Depending on the PDF's internal structure, text order may vary — especially in multi-column layouts or tables.
Is my PDF sent to a server?
Never! Everything runs in your browser. Your file is never sent anywhere. 100% safe.
Does it work with non-Latin scripts?
Yes! It supports English, Korean, Japanese, Chinese, and many other languages with CJK font mapping for accurate extraction.
