About our Extract & OCR
Extracting structured data from PDFs is one of the most common document processing tasks, yet most solutions either require expensive software or send your documents to a remote API. Our extraction tools run entirely in your browser, giving you full privacy when handling confidential contracts, invoices, research papers, and personal documents. The PDF Text Extractor uses PDF.js to parse text layers directly from text-based PDFs, preserving page structure and outputting clean plain text, per-page files, or structured JSON with word and character counts.
Why use Pixab AI for extract & ocr?
Privacy is the defining advantage of our extraction tools. Legal documents, medical records, financial statements, and personal correspondence all contain information you would not want passing through a third-party server. Because our tools process files entirely in your browser, there is zero risk of data exposure. There is no account required, no API key to manage, and no per-page pricing. The tools are also fast — PDF.js parses text from a typical 50-page PDF in under a second on modern hardware, because no network round trip is involved. For PDFs that contain scanned images rather than text layers (i.e., documents that were photographed rather than digitally created), full OCR support is on our roadmap.
