Summarize a PDF

Get the gist of a document, without uploading it.

Files never leave your device · No upload · Free
Loading tool…

When a document is longer than you have time for, a summary gets you the gist. Unlike cloud AI tools, this one runs the model in your browser, so the PDF is never uploaded to a server or an AI provider.

How to summarize a PDF

  1. 1

    Add your PDF

    Drop in the document you want summarised.

  2. 2

    Summarise

    An on-device AI model reads it and writes a summary locally.

  3. 3

    Read the summary

    Get the key points without reading every page.

Why summarise on your device

Most AI summarisers upload your document to their servers. Running the model locally means even a confidential PDF is summarised without leaving your machine.

Frequently asked questions

Does my PDF go to an AI provider?+

No. The model runs in your browser, so the document is never uploaded to any server or third-party AI service.

How long can the document be?+

It handles long documents, though very large files depend on your device’s memory and take longer.

Is the summary accurate?+

It captures the main points well; for critical decisions, still check the source passages.

Is it free?+

Yes, with no sign-up.
