Questions

How do I convert a PDF to text?

Click Upload PDF, or drop the file anywhere on this page. PDF2TEXT reads every page, including scans and photos, and shows the text next to the original so you can copy it or download it as TXT, Word, Excel, CSV or JSON.

Is PDF2TEXT free?

Yes. You can convert 5 pages without signing up, and a free account adds 5 pages every week. Paid plans start at $19 a month.

Does it work with scanned PDFs and photos?

Yes. PDF2TEXT reads scans, phone photos and image-only PDFs, not just PDFs that already contain selectable text.

What can I export?

Plain text, Word (.docx), Excel (.xlsx), CSV and JSON. Bank statements can also be exported as QuickBooks and Xero CSV on the Firm plan.

Which languages does it read?

Most widely used languages, including English, French, Spanish, Arabic, Chinese and Japanese, in the same document if needed.

Are my documents private?

Only you can open your files, from your browser session or your account. We never sell documents, we configure our AI provider not to store results for training where it supports that, and you can ask us to delete your files at any time.
