How to Convert PDF to JSON

01

Upload Your PDF

Select any digital PDF up to 50 MB. Scanned PDFs without a text layer will produce empty page text.

02

Text & Metadata Extracted

pypdf reads all text per page plus document metadata (title, author, creator, dates).

03

Download JSON File

Click Extract as JSON and save the structured .json file ready for any pipeline.

JSON Output Structure

The output JSON contains two top-level keys: pages and metadata. The pages array contains one object per PDF page with the page number and extracted text. The metadata object contains all available document properties.

{
  "metadata": {
    "title": "Annual Report 2024",
    "author": "Finance Team",
    "created": "2024-01-15",
    "pages": 12
  },
  "pages": [
    { "page": 1, "text": "Executive Summary\n..." },
    { "page": 2, "text": "Revenue grew by 24%..." }
  ]
}

This structure is immediately usable with Python's json.load(), JavaScript's JSON.parse(), or any other JSON consumer. It's also well-suited for building RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) pipelines where each page becomes a chunk.
