How PDF to Text works

Sometimes you just need the words, not the formatting. Gojli's PDF to Text tool pulls the plain text content out of a PDF and gives you a downloadable .txt file.

    Upload your PDF

    Choose the PDF file you want to extract text from.

  2. 2

    Let Gojli read it

    Text is extracted from every page directly in your browser.

  3. 3

    Download the text file

    Download a plain .txt file containing the extracted content, page by page.

Frequently asked questions

Does this work on scanned PDFs?

Only if the PDF already has a text layer — for scanned images, run OCR first.

Is formatting preserved?

No, this extracts plain text only, without fonts, layout, or images.
