PDF to plain text — client-side extraction

How it works

1. Drop a .pdf file (or any document) onto the page.
2. The Plain text output preset is already selected — hit Convert Now.
3. Download the result. The whole conversion ran in your browser via WebCodecs or FFmpeg.wasm. No file left your device.

Why convert PDF to Plain text?

Get just the words out of a PDF. Runs entirely in your browser; nothing uploads. Use this when you're piping the output through your own NLP script, or when a PDF's layout is too complex for reliable Markdown structure detection.

You might also want to DOCX (Word) to Markdown, Word to Markdown, DOCX to plain text, HTML to Markdown, HTML to plain text, TXT to Markdown, PDF to Markdown, PDF for ChatGPT, PDF for Claude, RTF to Markdown, RTF to plain text, ODT (LibreOffice) to Markdown, or ODT to plain text.

Is my file uploaded anywhere?

No. poqpoq is a static site — the page you're looking at is a bunch of JavaScript your browser downloaded once. It runs entirely on your device. There is no upload endpoint. When you open your browser's Network tab during a conversion, you'll see zero requests going out.
