Questions
I got nothing back from my PDF.
Then it is a scan — a picture of a page rather than real text. Reading those needs OCR, which is not something this site can do in the browser. Use PDF to JPG instead if you need the pages as images.
Is my file uploaded anywhere?
No. Everything runs inside your browser using your own device. Your file never leaves it, and we never see or store it. You can even disconnect from the internet and the tool still works.
Is it really free?
Yes. No account, no daily limit, no watermark on your files. The site is paid for by ads.
