How to Use
- Upload — Click or drag PDF/images to the dashed zone. Multi-file and large files (<100MB per batch recommended) are read locally only.
- Configure & process — Set pages, angle, password or quality, then hit “Calculate / Process”. Extract Text from PDF runs via WebAssembly and pdf-lib in your browser — no server queue.
- Preview & download — Check pages, size and thumbnails on the right, then download. Batch jobs download one by one; tweak and re-run if needed.
Tips & Notes

1,3,5-7or1-10,15; empty means all. Out-of-range pages are ignored. - Privacy & size: Everything runs locally — no server upload. For large files, process in batches of 50–100 pages.
- Fidelity: Fonts and vectors are preserved where possible. For scanned PDFs, run OCR/searchable PDF first, then convert.

FAQ
Extracted text garbled or missing?
Extraction relies on embedded text layer; scanned PDFs need “OCR PDF” first. Supports ranges like “1-3,5” and batch TXT export, preview before copy/download. For garbled, check missing font subsets or try “PDF to Word” path — for thesis and contract reuse.
Batch & page range supported?
Yes. Empty for all, or “1,3,5-7” for specific pages, batch and TXT export, ideal for 50-page reports per chapter. Preview integrity before copy or download for retrieval.
Keep paragraphs and tables?
Best effort — paragraph breaks and basic table columns are restored, complex headers better via “PDF to Word/Excel”. Tweak in editor after extraction — for finance and ops data reuse.
