MarkdownPro Tips
- ● Auto-format merges broken lines into proper paragraphs —great for PDFs where text gets split across lines.
- ● For scanned PDFs (image-only), this tool cannot extract text. You would need an OCR tool for that.
- ● Excel files are extracted as tab-separated text, making it easy to paste into other spreadsheets.
- ● Your files are processed 100% in your browser —nothing is uploaded to any server. Safe for confidential documents.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which document formats can I extract text from?+
The tool supports PDF, Word, OpenDocument, RTF, plain text, HTML, EPUB and several markup formats 鈥?twelve formats in total. Drop any supported file and the text appears in the editor pane within seconds.
Does the tool preserve formatting?+
Text is extracted as plain content, with paragraph breaks preserved. Bold, italics and complex layout are stripped because the goal is to give you clean, reusable text rather than recreate the original document.
Can it handle scanned PDFs?+
If a PDF was created from a real document and contains a text layer, extraction works perfectly. Pure image scans without OCR will return empty, because there is no text data to extract.
How large a file can I process?+
Files up to roughly one hundred megabytes work without issues in any modern browser. Larger files may take longer to load but the extraction itself is fast once the file is parsed.
Is my document uploaded anywhere?+
No. Every file is parsed locally in your browser using JavaScript libraries. The document never leaves your device, which makes the tool safe for confidential contracts and personal records.
