Drop your PDF here or click to upload
Max 10MB. Pages, text, and basic tables supported.
A PDF summarizer reads a document and gives you the core points, structure, and action items in plain language. Upload a research paper, a contract, a textbook chapter, or a 200-page filing. You get the summary plus a chat panel where you can ask follow-up questions, with every answer linked back to the page in the source.
Most PDF summarizers paywall the actual summary or hide it behind credits. This one does not. 3 free summaries per day with full output, page citations, multi-document compare, and 30+ output languages. Built for students, researchers, lawyers, and analysts who read for a living.
Drop a PDF up to 10 MB. Or paste a URL. Research papers, contracts, textbooks, manuals, anything.
Research, Legal, Financial, Medical, Textbook, or General. The output structure adapts to the document type.
Get the summary plus a chat panel for follow-ups. Click any claim to jump to its page in the source. Export to Notion, Anki, or Markdown.
Every claim links back to the exact page in the source PDF. Click and verify in one tap.
Ask follow-up questions in plain English. Answers are grounded in the document with cited page numbers.
Upload two contracts, papers, or proposals side by side. See clause-level differences in a clean diff view.
Research, legal, financial, medical, and textbook modes. Each restructures the output for that document type.
Vision pass over images and tables so chart trends and equations are summarized correctly, not skipped.

We pull the text out of your PDF page by page, preserving the structure (headings, lists, tables, footnotes). Scanned PDFs go through OCR first. Equations are kept in LaTeX. Tables are kept as tables, not flattened to plain text.
Pick a template (research, legal, financial, medical, textbook, or general) and the AI restructures the output for that document type. A research paper gets Methods, Results, Discussion. A contract gets parties, obligations, dates, and governing law. Generic dump avoided.
Every sentence in the summary is tied to a page number in the source. Click a sentence and the PDF viewer jumps to that page with the supporting text highlighted. If the AI invented a claim, you would catch it immediately. This is the anti-hallucination loop.
