- Read, edit and download the summary.
What to expect
A text summary is created. The PDF is not changed.
- Summaries can leave out or distort details. Check anything important against the original.
- The extractive method reuses sentences from the text; it never invents wording but can miss context.
- Scanned PDFs need OCR first.
- Very long documents are summarised in parts, so detail is lost.
Frequently asked questions
How do I summarize a PDF privately?
Choose a PDF or paste text and select Summarise. In Chrome 138 or newer on desktop it uses the browser’s built-in AI model on your device; in other browsers it picks the key sentences from the text itself.
Is my document sent to an AI company?
No. The built-in model runs inside your browser, and the fallback method is plain JavaScript on your device.
Can I trust the result without checking?
No. Always look at the finished file before you share or submit it, especially for anything legal, financial or identity-related.
Do I need to create an account?
No. Every tool works without sign-up or login.
Is it safe for confidential documents?
