Turn the text in your PDF into structured JSON, page by page, directly in your browser.

JSON is what code expects. Page numbers, lines, and word counts come through as fields you can loop over instead of text you have to parse yourself.
Each page becomes an object with its lines kept separate and joined together, so you can use whichever suits your script. Layout and styling are not included.
A PDF does not store lines or paragraphs. It stores each piece of text along with the exact spot it sits on the page, rather like words arranged on a table. There is no record of which words belonged to the same sentence.
So the lines have to be worked out from those positions: pieces sitting at the same height become one line, and a gap wide enough becomes a space. Ordinary documents come through cleanly. Columns and tables can come out in a different order than they look, because on the page they are simply text in particular places.
Drag the file onto the upload area, or browse from your device.
Every page is read and turned into structured JSON on your own device.
The result is shown before you save, so you can see the shape of it.
Copy it into your editor, or save it as a .json file.
An object holding the file name, page count, and word count, then an array of pages. Each page has its number, its lines as an array, and the same lines joined into one string.
Because code can use it directly. If you are feeding documents into a script, a search index, or a language model, having the pages and lines already separated saves you writing a parser.
No. Bold, italic, font sizes, and colours are not included. This gives you the words and where the lines break, not how they looked.
Those pages are either genuinely blank or they are scans. A scanned page holds a picture of the words, and there is no text in the file to read.
No. Everything runs inside your browser on your own device. Your file is never sent anywhere, and nothing is stored.
No. Your PDF is left exactly as it is. The tool creates a new file for you to download.
Yes. It is completely free with no sign-up and no limits.
