About this tool
Read scanned PDF pages into plain text. Digital PDFs that already have a text layer are faster in Extract Text from PDF.
Each page is drawn in the browser and then read. A long scan is limited to the first 8 pages so the tab stays usable.
The download is a .txt file. This tool does not write invisible text back into the PDF, so the original file does not become “searchable” by itself.
Quick steps
- Choose Arabic, English, or both.
- Open the PDF.
- Start reading.
- Copy or save the text.
Rendering and recognition stay in your browser. The PDF is not uploaded to 1CLIK.
FAQ
Will my PDF become searchable?
No. You get the words as text. The PDF file is unchanged.
When should I use Extract Text instead?
When the PDF was exported from Word or a website and you can already select the words.
