Questions
Why is my text empty or jumbled?
Scanned documents and photos store words as pictures, so there’s no text to extract. Text in columns or tables may come out in a different order, because PDFs store text by position rather than by reading order.
Are my files uploaded to a server?
No. UserPDF runs entirely in your web browser. Your files are read and processed on your own device and are never sent to us or anyone else. You can even disconnect from the internet after the page loads and the tools keep working.
Is it free?
Yes. UserPDF is free to use with no sign-up and no watermark on your files. It’s supported by ads.
