Is this tool really free?

Yes, all our PDF tools are completely free to use with no hidden costs, subscriptions, or per-file charges. We support the service through non-intrusive advertising, not by charging for basic document operations. You can use any tool as many times as you like, with no daily limits, file size restrictions, or account requirements whatsoever.

Absolutely. All PDF processing happens directly in your browser using local JavaScript and WebAssembly libraries. Your files are never uploaded to any server, never stored in the cloud, and never transmitted over the internet. The files remain entirely on your device from start to finish, giving you complete control over your sensitive and confidential documents.

What content can I extract?

You can extract text content, document metadata, embedded image data, and document structure information such as the bookmark outline and page labels. The extraction type determines the format of the output: text extraction produces a plain text file, image extraction produces an image archive, and metadata extraction produces a structured data file with all document properties.

Can I extract from password-protected PDFs?

To extract content from a password-protected PDF, you first need to remove the password protection using the Unlock tool. If the PDF has a user password (required to open), you must know that password to unlock it before any extraction is possible. Permission-only restrictions (no open password) may still allow content extraction depending on the specific permissions set.

Will extracted text preserve the original formatting?

Plain text extraction captures the text characters and reading order but does not preserve visual formatting such as bold, italic, font sizes, colors, or paragraph indentation. The output is a basic text file suitable for importing into other applications. For formatted extraction that preserves some layout, consider converting to an editable word processor format using specialized tools.

Can I extract content from specific pages?

Yes, you can specify a page range for extraction rather than processing the entire document. This is useful for large documents where you only need content from a specific chapter or section. Limiting extraction to the relevant pages reduces processing time and produces a more focused output without irrelevant content from other parts of the document.

What output formats are available?

Text content is extracted as a .txt file. Images are extracted as a ZIP archive containing the original image files. Metadata is extracted as a structured text or JSON file containing all document properties. The output format is automatically determined by the extraction type you choose, optimizing for the most useful format for each type of extracted content.
