Clean PDF text

Open a PDF locally or paste copied text. Join wrapped lines, remove extra spaces and preserve paragraph gaps, with optional repair of words split across lines.

Read and clean PDF text in your browser

Open PDF extracts selectable text from a document on this device, or paste a passage yourself. PDFs are limited to 10 MB and 100 pages. Wrapped lines join with spaces; paragraph gaps in imported text are estimated from line spacing and should be reviewed. Blank lines keep paragraphs separate. Select Repair words split with hyphens only when needed: inter- followed by national on the next line becomes international, but a real compound such as well-known may lose its hyphen. This tool cannot reliably reconstruct columns or read scanned pages. Password-protected PDFs need an unlocked copy.
