Frequently asked questions
It found no text — why?
The PDF is likely scanned (images, not selectable text). Use the AI scanned-PDF converter under File converters to read it.
Are my files uploaded anywhere?
No. This tool runs entirely in your browser — your PDF never leaves your device and nothing is stored on a server.
