Frequently Asked Questions

Why do PDFs copy with line breaks?

PDFs are designed for print and strict visual layouts, not for editing. When a PDF is created, a 'hard return' (or carriage return) is placed at the end of every physical line on the page to ensure the text stays within the margins. When you copy and paste this into a word processor, those hard returns come with it, breaking the text into awkward short lines.

Does this tool keep my paragraphs?

Yes! If you select the default 'Preserve Paragraphs' mode, the tool is smart enough to remove single line breaks (the ones breaking your sentences) but keep double line breaks, which usually represent actual paragraphs in the original document.

Is my text uploaded to a server?

No, all text formatting happens locally in your browser using Web Workers. Whether you are pasting confidential business documents, legal contracts, or sensitive emails, your data is 100% private and never leaves your computer.

Limitations & Requirements

  • Browser Requirement: Requires a modern browser with HTML5 and Web Worker support.
  • Data Security: Your text is processed entirely locally. No data is sent to any server.
  • Speed: Because it uses Web Workers, it can process thousands of pages of text instantly without freezing your browser.
