Search & Highlight

Type in the search bar to highlight matching text across all pages

Privacy & Security

All processing happens locally in your browser using PDF.js
Your PDF files are never uploaded to any server
No data is stored or transmitted

Notes

Text extraction works best with PDFs that contain selectable text
Scanned PDFs (image-only) may not yield any text — use an OCR tool instead
Text order follows the PDF's internal structure, which may differ from visual layout
