How to use this tool

Your file stays on your device. This tool processes the PDF in your browser instead of uploading it to our server.

How to convert PDF to text

Upload your PDF and Tallywise reads the text layer from every page, then bundles it into a single .txt file you can download or paste elsewhere.

Frequently asked questions

Does this work on scanned PDFs?

Only if the PDF already has a text layer (for example, one created from OCR). Purely scanned images with no embedded text will produce empty output.
