Frequently Asked Questions
Is extracting text from PDF secure on CompressKaro?
Absolutely! The text extraction is performed entirely in your browser using local Web Workers. Your files never touch our servers, ensuring your documents remain 100% private and secure.
Does this tool support scanned PDFs or handwriting?
This tool extracts embedded digital text from searchable PDFs. It does not perform Optical Character Recognition (OCR), meaning scanned image-only PDFs or handwritten documents will not yield text.
Can I extract text from password-protected PDFs?
For security and technical reasons, password-protected or encrypted PDFs cannot be processed directly unless they are first unlocked.
What formatting does the extracted text preserve?
The tool extracts the raw text content in the order it is read by the system. While layout and precise column alignments might not be perfectly preserved, the core textual information remains intact and is outputted as plain text.
