Extract clean text or markdown from PDF files for AI prompts, summaries, and notes. Files are processed and deleted automatically.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I extract clean text from a PDF?
Upload a PDF, optionally set a page range, choose TXT or Markdown output, and convert. The downloaded file is ready for AI prompts, summaries, or notes.
What is the difference between TXT and Markdown output?
TXT gives plain clean text. Markdown adds a simple heading and source marker so it can be pasted into docs or prompt libraries more easily.
Can I extract text from only selected pages?
Yes. Use page range syntax like 1-3,5,8-10 to process only the sections you need.
Why is extracted text useful for ChatGPT or Gemini prompts?
Cleaned text reduces layout noise, hard line wraps, and broken spacing, so prompts are easier for AI models to interpret.
Will this tool OCR scanned PDFs?
No. It extracts embedded text from PDFs. Image-only scans without selectable text may return empty output.
What is the maximum file size for PDF text extraction?
Up to 25MB per PDF.
Can I use this tool for resumes, reports, and contracts?
Yes. It is useful for CV parsing, report analysis, due-diligence notes, and summarization workflows.
Are extracted files stored after download?
No. Files are processed temporarily to generate your output, then deleted automatically. Tiny File Tools does not require signup for these tools.
