Drop a PDF and the tool extracts every email address found in the text. For text-based PDFs, extraction is instant. For scanned / image-based PDFs, optional OCR (Tesseract.js) extracts text first, then finds emails - takes 10-30 seconds per page.
When to use this
Use for: extracting contact emails from email-signature-bearing PDFs (resumes, business cards converted to PDF, contracts), scraping conference attendee lists shared as PDF, pulling vendor / customer contacts from old archived PDF reports.
Frequently Asked Questions
What if the PDF is scanned?
Toggle 'OCR mode' - the tool will OCR each page (Tesseract.js in your browser) before extracting emails. Slower but works on image-only PDFs. For text PDFs, OCR is unnecessary and slower than the default text extraction.
