What is the output format?

The output is RTF (Rich Text Format), which opens natively in Microsoft Word, Google Docs, LibreOffice Writer, and most word processors without any plugin.

Does this work for scanned PDFs?

No. Scanned PDFs are images of text, not real text. Only PDFs with embedded text (created digitally) will extract correctly.

Will formatting be preserved?

Basic text and page structure are preserved. Complex formatting like tables, columns, and images are not fully preserved — this is a limitation of browser-based text extraction.

Is my PDF uploaded to a server?

No. Text extraction happens in your browser using PDF.js. Your PDF file never leaves your device.
