Offline PDF extraction with the desktop app

Use PDF Extractor Desktop to extract images, tables, text, and OCR from PDFs locally on macOS, Windows, and Linux without uploading documents.

Keep sensitive PDFs local

PDF Extractor Desktop processes documents on your computer, which helps when files cannot be uploaded to a cloud service.

Extract images, tables, text, and OCR

The desktop workflow supports the same PDF element concepts as the web app, with local outputs for review and storage.

Use it for large or private workloads

Offline extraction is a good fit for legal, finance, health, research, and field workflows where privacy or connectivity matters.

Process documents without a cloud upload

PDF files are opened and processed on the local computer. Extracted images, tables, text, formulas, captions, and OCR files are written to local storage for review and downstream use.

Run local OCR and layout detection together

Desktop extraction can detect document regions and transcribe scanned pages in the same workflow, preserving both the visual crops and the text output needed for search, review, or AI context.
