PDF Viewing & Extraction Guide

What this tool does

  • Preview PDF: render pages directly in the browser with page navigation.
  • Export images: export the current page as PNG, great for sharing, screenshots, or annotation.
  • Extract text: extract the full text in one click and download as TXT for search and copy.

Tips

  1. Large pages may render slowly, please be patient.
  2. Extracted text depends on the PDF layout and font embedding, so line breaks may differ from the original.
  3. For scanned (image-based) PDFs, use an OCR tool to recognize text.

FAQ

Will my PDF be uploaded to a server?
No. Files are parsed and rendered locally in your browser and never uploaded.
Why is the exported image not sharp enough?
Image sharpness depends on the render scale. A scale/quality option can be added later for higher-resolution export.
Why does the extracted text have no line breaks?
PDF text layers are usually stored by coordinates and may not contain real line-break info. Extraction merges text moderately, so line breaks may differ from the visual layout.
Can I extract text from scanned PDFs?
Scanned PDFs are usually images and need OCR to recognize text. This tool is better suited for text-based PDFs.
Which browsers are supported?
Recent versions of Chrome / Edge / Firefox are recommended for better rendering performance.
Can I export all pages as images?
The current version exports the current page as PNG. Batch export can be added as an extension.
Will my privacy be leaked?
No. This tool never uploads your PDF and requires no login.
