Privacy: Why Local Processing Matters for Text Extraction

PDFs often contain sensitive information — financial reports, contracts, medical records, employee data. When you upload such a file to an online text extractor, the entire document content passes through a third-party server.

MiOffice extracts text entirely in your browser. The PDF is loaded into browser memory, text is extracted using WebAssembly-powered PDF parsing, and the result is saved locally. No network requests are made with your document data. This makes MiOffice suitable for extracting text from confidential documents without any privacy risk.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I extract text from a scanned PDF?

Yes. MiOffice includes built-in OCR (Optical Character Recognition) that can extract text from scanned documents and image-based PDFs. The OCR processing happens entirely in your browser.

Is the extracted text formatted?

The output is plain text (.txt). Basic text structure like paragraphs and line breaks are preserved, but complex formatting such as columns, tables, and fonts are simplified into readable plain text.

Can I extract text from a specific page?

The tool extracts text from all pages in the PDF. If you need text from specific pages only, use the Split PDF tool first to extract those pages, then convert the resulting PDF to text.

Is my PDF uploaded to a server?

For this conversion, MiOffice runs in your browser — your PDF stays on your device. Good for confidential documents, contracts, and financial statements. See /privacy for full details.

What languages are supported for OCR?

The OCR engine supports English and most Latin-script languages by default. Character recognition accuracy is highest with clearly printed text and good image quality.
