About PDF to TXT

Berlvis PDF to TXT pulls every text run out of your PDF and writes it to a clean .txt file. It works perfectly on text-based PDFs (most exports from Word, Pages, Google Docs). For scanned PDFs you'll want OCR, coming soon.

Frequently asked questions

+Is the PDF to TXT tool really free?

Yes. Every tool on Berlvis Tools is free with no signup, no watermark and no daily quota. No signup, no email, no watermark, no file-size cap, no daily quota, Berlvis Tools is 100% free because the heavy lifting happens on your computer, not on a paid server.

+Are my files safe when I use PDF to TXT?

100%. Your file is processed entirely inside your browser. Nothing is uploaded, nothing is stored, and nothing leaves your device, that means it's faster, safer and works even when you're offline. You can even disconnect from the internet right after the page loads, the tool will still work.

+Is there a file size limit?

No. Because the work happens in your browser, the only real limit is your device's RAM. We've successfully processed PDFs over 500 MB on a regular laptop.

+Does it work on Mac, Windows, iPhone and Android?

Yes, anywhere with a modern browser (Chrome, Edge, Safari, Firefox, Brave, Arc). Nothing to install.
