Frequently asked questions
Why is there no text?
Scanned PDFs are photos of pages and contain no real text. You'd need OCR software to read those.
Is the formatting kept?
Paragraphs are kept together, but bold text, tables and pictures are not — it's plain text.
Are my files uploaded?
No. Everything happens inside your browser, so your files never leave your device.
