Frequently Asked Questions
Can it extract text from scanned PDFs?
Yes! Our OCR (Optical Character Recognition) technology can extract text from scanned documents and image-based PDFs with high accuracy.
Will formatting be preserved?
Plain text files contain only text content without visual formatting like fonts, colors, or layouts. However, we preserve paragraph breaks and basic text structure.
What happens to images and graphics?
Images, logos, and graphics are not included in the text file. Only readable text content is extracted. For images, use our PDF to Image converters.
Is my document safe and private?
Absolutely. All files are transmitted using secure HTTPS encryption. Your PDFs are processed on secure servers and automatically deleted within 1 hour.
Can I convert password-protected PDFs?
For security reasons, you'll need to remove password protection before conversion. Use a PDF unlocking tool first, then convert to text.
