Frequently Asked Questions

Is my PDF uploaded to a server?

No. This tool uses Mozilla's PDF.js library to extract text entirely in your browser. Your PDF file never leaves your device, making this safe for confidential documents, contracts, or personal files.

What types of PDFs are supported?

Any standard PDF with text content works. This includes articles, reports, books, invoices, and most documents. Password-protected PDFs will prompt for the password. Scanned image-only PDFs require OCR (not supported here) — use a dedicated OCR tool first.

Can I extract specific pages only?

Yes. Use the "Page range" field with formats like "1-5" (pages 1 to 5), "1,3,5" (specific pages), or "1-5, 7, 9-12" (mixed). Leave empty to extract all pages.

What's the maximum file size?

Tested up to 50MB with 500+ pages. Larger files may work but extraction can be slow. Your browser memory is the real limit — most modern devices handle 100MB+ without issues.
