What is PDF to Text?

PDF to text extraction reads every page of a PDF — including scanned documents that have no selectable text — and outputs editable plain text. Traditional copy-paste fails on scanned PDFs; OLOCR solves this by applying AI-powered OCR directly inside your browser. Multi-page files, even old photocopies are handled automatically. Your documents stay local.

Why Choose OLOCR PDF to Text

Multi-Page PDF Support

Drop in a multi-page PDF and get text from every page in one run. No need to split the file or process pages individually.

Scanned PDF Recognition

Most tools only work with native, text-based PDFs. OLOCR applies AI OCR to scanned documents too, so even photocopied contracts and old archives become editable text.

AI Optimization

Scanned PDFs are prone to character confusion like 0/O and 1/l. Switch to the "AI Optimization" tab after extraction, and AI corrects these mistakes while merging split lines into readable paragraphs.

Confidential Documents Stay Local

PDFs are processed inside your browser and never sent to a remote server. Legal contracts, financial reports, and medical records stay on your machine.

Process Multiple PDFs at Once

Upload a whole batch of PDFs and extract text from all of them in parallel. No file count limits, no size caps.
