Frequently Asked Questions
Can this tool extract text from scanned PDFs and photos?
Yes! When an image-only or scanned PDF without an embedded text layer is detected, our built-in client-side Tesseract OCR engine extracts characters directly in your browser without uploading files to any external server.
How does the layout-aware text extraction work?
Our engine calculates the spatial coordinates and baseline transformations of each font glyph, preserving table rows, paragraph breaks, and multi-column article flows in their original reading order.
Can I scrub sensitive personal information before exporting?
Yes! Use the 'Redact Sensitive Data' toolbar toggle to automatically detect and replace email addresses, phone numbers, and URLs with clean placeholders.
Can I export the extracted text directly into Microsoft Word?
Yes. In addition to standard .TXT files, you can export your document as a formatted .DOC file (compatible with Microsoft Word and LibreOffice) or structured .JSON.
Are my sensitive documents uploaded to any remote server?
No. All PDF stream extraction, OCR raster scanning, coordinate sorting, and file generation run 100% locally inside your device browser memory.
