FAQ – PDF to text converter online

What kind of result does this tool produce?

The converter extracts visible text from your PDF and returns it as plain text. Layout, fonts, images, tables and complex formatting are not preserved – the goal is clean, editable text.

What is the maximum PDF file size?

For stability, files up to 50 MB are supported. This is enough for many reports, e-books and multi-page documents.

Does it work with scanned PDFs?

This version focuses on PDFs that already contain selectable text. If your PDF is just scanned images, the extracted result may be empty or incomplete unless OCR has already been applied.

Are there any daily limits?

Yes. To keep the service fast for everyone, there are fair daily limits per browser and IP. If you reach a limit, simply try again the next day.

Do you store my PDFs or text?

Files are processed only for the time needed to extract the text and generate the result. The tool is designed for quick, everyday use without creating an account.
