Frequently Asked Questions
What kind of URLs work?
Any publicly accessible web page — articles, blog posts, documentation, news sites. Pages behind logins or paywalls won't work.
Does it work with JavaScript-heavy sites?
We fetch the initial HTML. Single-page apps that render content entirely via JavaScript may return limited text. Most news sites, blogs, and documentation work fine.
Is the extracted text stored?
No. We fetch, extract, and return the text. Nothing is stored on our servers.
Can I extract text from PDFs?
This tool is for web pages. For PDF text extraction, check our Image to Text (OCR) tool.
How is this different from copy-pasting?
We strip ads, navigation, popups, cookie banners, and formatting clutter. You get just the article text, clean and ready to use.
What's the word limit?
No artificial limit. We extract all readable text from the page.
