Summarize PDF with AI

Upload a PDF and get a short summary, the key points and all the important questions with answers, so you don't have to read every page.

What do you want?

AI answers come from the photo or document and the AI's general knowledge, not a live internet search. Check important details, and ask a professional for medical, legal or money decisions.

How to use the Summarize PDF

  1. Tap Upload a PDF or text and choose your file. It is read in your browser.
  2. Pick Explain everything for summary + key points + Q&A, or choose only a summary, Q&A or study notes.
  3. Tap Explain it, then copy the summary and answers.

From a long PDF to answers in seconds

Reading a 30-page report or a dense letter takes time. This tool reads the text of your PDF and gives you a summary, the key points and 6–10 questions with answers taken from the document, plus practical next steps. Ask your own question too, like "What is the deadline?" or "How much do I have to pay?".

What you get

You can also ask your own question, like "What is the due date?" or "Is this plant safe for cats?", and choose answers in English, Hindi or Hinglish.

Privacy and accuracy

PDFs are read in your browser; only the text (or, for scanned PDFs, one page image) is sent to our AI provider to write the answer, and nothing is stored by us. The AI uses the material plus its general knowledge; it does not search the internet live. Check important details yourself, and ask a doctor, lawyer or financial adviser before making decisions.

Tips for better answers

Take photos in good light and fill the frame with the object. For long PDFs, the first ~40,000 characters are used, so upload the most important part.

Works best with

  • Text PDFs (made from Word, Google Docs or websites): the full text is read.
  • Scanned PDFs: the first page is read as an image; for more pages, photograph them one by one with AI Lens or use Image to Text.
  • Long PDFs: about the first 40,000 characters are used. Upload the chapter you need.
