Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about using PDF to Text.

Is it safe to use PDF to Text with confidential files?
Yes, absolutely. PDF to Text processes everything locally inside your web browser. Your files are never uploaded to any external server. This client-side architecture ensures complete data privacy and makes the tool safe for handling sensitive, confidential, or proprietary content.
Does converting with PDF to Text reduce quality?
The conversion process is designed to preserve maximum quality. For lossless formats like PNG, quality is identical to the original. For compressed formats like JPG, the tool uses optimized encoding to maintain visual fidelity while achieving efficient file sizes.
Is there a file size limit for PDF to Text?
Since all processing happens in your browser, there are no server-imposed file size limits. The practical limit depends on your device's available memory (RAM). Most modern devices can handle files up to 100MB comfortably. For very large files, ensure you have sufficient free memory.

Processing speed depends on your file size and device capabilities. Small files typically complete in under 2 seconds. Larger files may take 5-15 seconds.
