File to text — any format

Drop one file, many files, a whole folder, or a .zip. This page works out what each one is from the bytes, then reads it. It's the front door to every tool below. No OCR, no speech transcription. Both get an honest verdict instead.

Drop a PNG, JPG, TIFF, BMP, GIF, WebP, or HEIC and find out whether it will OCR cleanly. Resolution, blur, skew, and inversion are measured from the pixels. Nothing uploaded.

open →

PDF text-layer check

Drop a PDF and find out whether it has a real text layer, is a scan that needs OCR, or is a mixed document. Nothing uploaded.

open →

File type inspector

Drop any file and see what txtfetch actually detects from its bytes, including when the extension is lying about the real format.

open →

Format coverage, checked

Look up any extension or media type and see whether tika-server-standard actually parses it. That's checked against the exact build we run, not assumed from a list.

open →

Chunk previewer

Paste extracted text and see chunk boundaries, token estimates, and the extraction-damage signals wrecking them, for fixed, recursive, and structure-aware chunking.

open →

Clean up extracted text

Paste extracted text and see every damage signal, named and linked to its fix. Then repair what can honestly be repaired: mojibake, hyphenated line breaks, repeated headers, and more.

open →

open →

Subtitles to text

Drop an .mp4/.mkv/.mp3/.wav or a .srt/.vtt/.ass/.ttml file and get a clean transcript. Cue numbers and timestamps are gone, and rolling captions are collapsed. No caption track? You get the honest verdict, not a guess. Nothing uploaded.
