Pdf2text

Drop PDFs, get text. Batch or single file.

  - smart extraction - tries native text first (instant), falls back to OCR if needed
  - batch mode - drop multiple PDFs, they stack up, extract all at once
  - scanned docs - image-based PDFs work via OCR
  - output formats - save as .txt or .md
  - custom destination - save next to originals or pick a folder
  - drag & drop - or click to browse (multi-select supported)

  how it works

  1. Drop or select PDFs (they stack - keep adding)
  2. Pick output format (.txt or .md)
  3. Optionally set a destination folder
  4. Hit "Extract All"
  5. Native text → instant. Scanned → OCR page by page
  6. Done

  OCR support (optional)

  For scanned PDFs, install Tesseract OCR:

  Without it, native text extraction still works, you just won't get OCR for image-based PDFs.

  why this exists

  PDFs eat context when sharing with AI. This converts them to clean text - lighter, easier to work with.
