Can I convert PDF to text online for free?+
Yes — FixTheFile extracts all text from any PDF document online for free using PyMuPDF. No signup needed for your first conversion.
Does FixTheFile work with scanned PDFs?+
FixTheFile uses PyMuPDF to extract embedded text from PDF documents. For PDFs with embedded text layers (most modern PDFs), extraction is instant and complete. Image-only scanned PDFs need OCR, which is not currently supported.
Is there a page limit?+
FixTheFile has no page limit for PDF text extraction. It processes the full document up to the 500MB file size limit — perfect for long contracts, reports, or books.
What do I get after conversion?+
Your extracted text is displayed directly in your browser, ready to copy and paste into any document, editor, or application. The text follows the reading order of the original PDF.
Can I extract text from a password-protected PDF?+
FixTheFile works with unencrypted PDF files. If your PDF is password-protected, you'll need to remove the password protection first before uploading.
