Frequently asked questions
Does it work with scanned PDFs?
Only if the PDF has a text layer. A scanned image has no text to extract: run it through the OCR tool first.
Is formatting kept?
You get plain text with its line breaks. Bold, tables and images are not kept; use PDF to Word or PDF to Markdown for that.
Is PDF to text free to use on Toolkoa?
Yes, the PDF to text tool is 100% free, unlimited and requires no sign up or installation.
Are my files sent to any server when using PDF to text?
No. Every operation on Toolkoa is processed privately and locally, directly in your own browser.
Do I need to install anything to use PDF to text?
Nothing to install. PDF to text runs in any modern desktop or mobile browser, and once the page has loaded you can keep using it without relying on the connection.
