Extract pulls the readable text out of a PDF — page by page — so you can copy it, search it or paste it elsewhere. Handy when a document won't let you select text easily. Your PDF is opened right here and never uploaded.

Extract reads the text layer of the PDF. Scanned documents that are only images have no text layer, so nothing will come out of those — that needs OCR, which this tool doesn't do. Everything runs on your device.
