Extract Text
Read existing PDF text layers and export them as plain text.
Useful for copying, organizing, and searching document content.
How it works
- Choose PDF files from your device.
- Process them locally in your browser.
- Download One combined TXT file.
Limits and support
- Scanned PDFs require local OCR; this version only reads existing text layers.
- When several PDFs are selected, their text is combined into one TXT file with a heading for each source file.
Selected file data is processed on your device and is not uploaded to CobaltPebble for processing.
