Extract text from PDF, even scans
Every page rendered and read on your device. Free, private, no page limits.
Drop PDF files here or click to browse
The text reader (about 5 MB) downloads once, then works offline. Files never leave your device.
Scanned paper, usable text
The worst PDFs are photographs of paper: no selectable text, no search, no copying. QuietPix renders each page at high resolution and runs OCR over it, right in your browser. A scanned contract becomes quotable, a scanned invoice becomes searchable, and the document itself never leaves your machine.
Frequently asked questions
Does this work on scanned PDFs?
Yes, that is the point: each page is rendered and read with OCR, so image-only scans produce text too. Digital PDFs also work; every page goes through the same reader.
How long does a big PDF take?
Roughly 2-10 seconds per page on a typical laptop, with live page progress. The whole document is processed on your own hardware, so there are no page limits.
Is my PDF uploaded?
No. Rendering and recognition both run in your browser. Contracts, statements and records are exactly the documents that should never visit an OCR server.
What do I get out?
Plain text, marked per page, in an editable box: copy it or download the whole thing as a .txt file.
