Yes. You can summarize PDFs for free in your browser.

Does it work on scanned PDFs?

Not directly. For scanned PDFs, use the OCR tool first to create a searchable PDF, then upload the result to Summarize PDF with AI.

What language is the summary in?

The summary is written in the same language as the document.

Files are processed for summarization only and deleted from the server shortly after.

What is the difference between short, medium, and long?

Short: key bullet points. Medium: balanced paragraphs. Long: more detail with conclusions.

What does this PDF summarizer do?

It reads a PDF’s text and returns a short brief of the main points so you can decide whether to read the full file. It works best when the PDF already has a text layer, not image-only scans.

Upload, wait for the summary, then copy what you need. If the file is a scan with no text, run OCR first. Check names and figures; do not treat the summary as the sole basis for a legal decision.

A summary is a reading aid, not a translation and not an Excel extract. Files are deleted after processing. Skip confidential reports if your policy forbids uploads.

When do you need a PDF summary?

Sorting many vendor proposals before a meeting.
Getting the gist of a long paper before a deep read.
Pulling talking points when you have no time to read the attachment.
