PDF to Text — frequently asked questions
Does it work on scanned PDFs?
Scanned pages are pictures without real text, so no text can be extracted from them.
Is it really free?
Yes. Qu-Outil is completely free with no sign-up, no watermark and no usage limits.
Are my files uploaded?
No. The work is done in your browser on your own device, so your files are never uploaded or stored anywhere.
