Frequently asked questions

How do I extract text from a PDF?

Upload your PDF and NamahaPDF reads its content stream and pulls out every text run, which you can then copy or download as a plain text file.

Does it work on scanned PDFs without a text layer?

Direct extraction only works on PDFs that already contain real text. For scanned, image-only PDFs, use Image to PDF with OCR enabled first to add a searchable text layer.

Is my document uploaded to a server?

No. Text extraction runs entirely in your browser, so your file never leaves your device.
