PDF to TXT Converter

Summary

PDF to TXT Converter reads your PDF entirely in the browser using PDF.js and produces a clean plain-text file ready to download. Because all processing is local, your documents never leave your device — making it safe for confidential contracts, reports, or personal files. The resulting .txt preserves page breaks with clear markers so you always know where each page began.

How it works

1. Click the upload area or drag a PDF onto it.
2. PDF.js reads and parses the PDF locally in your browser.
3. Text is extracted from every page in reading order.
4. A live preview shows the combined plain text before you download.
5. Click "Download TXT" to save the result as a .txt file named after your PDF.
