Only the embedded text layer is extracted. All layout, fonts, images and tables are discarded — multi-column pages in particular often come out interleaved, because reading order is a property of the layout rather than the text.
A scanned PDF is a picture of text and contains no text layer at all, so extraction returns nothing. That needs OCR, which this tool does not perform.
Privacy Notice: All PDF to TXT conversions are performed locally in your web browser using WebAssembly technology. Your files are never uploaded to our servers, ensuring complete privacy and security. This also means faster conversion speeds and no file size limits from server restrictions.
