Extract links from PDF

Extract All Hyperlinks from a PDF

Get a plain-text list of every clickable URL, mailto link, and internal destination embedded in a PDF. Optionally scan the visible page text to catch non-clickable URLs too. Useful for audits, migrations, and QA.

How it works

1. Open a PDF (click, drag-and-drop, or paste Ctrl+V / ⌘V).
2. Pick your options (dedupe, sort, include mailto/internal, optional text scan), then click Extract links.
3. Copy results or download as TXT/CSV/JSON.

Tips for best results

• By default, the tool extracts only clickable links from PDF annotations (the most accurate method).
• Turn on text scan if you also want to capture URLs that appear as plain text but are not clickable (slower and may include false positives).
• Internal links show as “internal: …” because they don’t map to a public URL.

Frequently asked questions

What if the PDF has no links?

The result will be empty. PDFs created by scanning or printing usually have no hyperlinks.

Are email addresses included?

Yes - mailto: links are extracted and listed (and text scan can also detect emails).

Is my PDF uploaded?

No — extraction runs entirely in your browser.
