OCR PDF text search

Scans every page (including scanned/image-only pages with no selectable text) so you can search for a word or phrase.

PDF to Word

Extracts the real text where the PDF has it, and runs OCR automatically on scanned/image-only pages. Works best for simple, single-column documents — complex layouts, tables, and multi-column text won't be preserved exactly.

PDF to PowerPoint

Each page becomes one slide, rendered as a full-page image — layout, fonts, and graphics come out exactly as they look in the PDF. Runs entirely in your browser.

PDF to Excel

Reconstructs rows and columns from the PDF’s own text spacing, and runs OCR automatically on scanned/image-only pages. Works best for simple, clearly-aligned tables — free-form text near a table may get split oddly.

PDF to JPG

Each page becomes a .jpg image. Runs entirely in your browser — nothing is uploaded. Multiple pages are zipped together for download.

HTML to PDF

PDF to HTML

Produces one self-contained .html file — an image of each page with an invisible text layer on top, so it looks exactly like the PDF but the text stays selectable, searchable (Ctrl/Cmd+F), and copyable. Runs entirely in your browser.

How to extract text from a PDF online

  1. Choose the PDF you want to pull text out of.
  2. VitePDF reads every page's real text and lays it out for you, line by line — this happens automatically the moment your file loads.
  3. Edit the text right there if you need to clean anything up.
  4. Click Copy to clipboard to paste it elsewhere, or Download .txt for a plain text file.

Why use VitePDF

  • Instant — there's no "convert" button to click, the text is ready the moment the file loads.
  • The output is editable, so you can tidy up line breaks or typos before copying.
  • Everything happens in your browser — your PDF is never uploaded anywhere.

Frequently asked questions

Kodėl rezultatas tuščias arba trūksta kai kurių puslapių?

Šis įrankis skaito PDF faile esantį tikrą, pažymimą teksto sluoksnį — jis negali perskaityti teksto, įterpto į vaizdą, pavyzdžiui, nuskaitytame puslapyje. Jei jūsų PDF yra nuskaitytas dokumentas, išbandykite VitePDF įrankį OCR teksto paieška PDF, kuris atpažįsta tekstą nuskaitytuose puslapiuose.

Will the text come out in the right order?

For most single-column documents, yes. Multi-column layouts, tables, and unusual page designs can come out in a different reading order than you'd expect, since a PDF doesn't actually store "columns" — just text positioned on a page. Edit directly in the box to fix anything that reads oddly.

Is my file uploaded anywhere?

No — text extraction happens entirely on your device using your browser's own processing power. Your PDF never leaves your computer.

Is there a file size limit?

Files up to 10 MB are free — Premium removes that limit entirely.
