Extract PDF text

Export text from PDF pages in your browser.

Use Slay PDF to extract plain text from all pages or selected pages without uploading the PDF to a server.

Plain text export

Download extracted text for notes, search, quoting or archiving.

Choose the pages that matter before exporting text.

Use OCR export for image-only scanned PDFs that do not contain selectable text.

Text extraction is useful for copying content from reports, forms, invoices, statements and other PDFs that already contain embedded text.

For scans and photos, use Slay PDF's searchable OCR export to create a text layer first.
