Scanned PDF to Text Converter

Convert any scanned PDF to extracted plain text. Pick OCR language (12 supported), run extraction, and download the text as .txt or copy directly to clipboard. Useful for further processing (search, regex parsing, data extraction) where you just need text not the original PDF.

When to use this

Use to: extract data from scanned invoices / receipts for entering into accounting software, archive scanned book pages as searchable text, pull email addresses from scanned business cards, extract product info from scanned brochures.

Frequently Asked Questions

What if my PDF has both real text and scanned pages?

The tool auto-detects per-page: pages with a text layer extract directly (no OCR needed, faster + perfect accuracy); pages without text run through OCR. Mixed PDFs handled seamlessly.

Powered by OCR PDF.
