Questions about AI PDF Summarizer

How much does the AI PDF Summarizer cost?

Is my PDF uploaded when I summarize it?

No. The AI PDF Summarizer sends the extracted text, not the file, to our AI model. The text is never used to train models. Without an account, your chats are deleted after 24 hours. With an account, you choose how long chats are kept and can delete them whenever you like.

Which summary length should I choose?

Pick the gist when you only need to know what a document is about. Key points suit meetings and quick reviews. The detailed summary keeps more of the reasoning, and the executive brief suits someone who needs to make a decision. In the AI PDF Summarizer you can also write for a general, executive, student or legal reader.

Can I trust an AI summary?

Use it as a first read and check what matters. AI can leave out a detail or state something more strongly than the document does. That is why every point in the AI PDF Summarizer links to the page it came from. Click a point to read the original passage before you quote a figure or make a decision.

Can I summarize a PDF on my phone?

Yes. The AI PDF Summarizer works in any modern browser on iPhone, iPad, Android, Windows, Mac, Linux and Chromebook, with no app to install. Choose a PDF from your phone's files, pick a length, and read the summary right there. Page links work on a small screen too.

Should I summarize or chat with my PDF?

The AI PDF Summarizer gives you the whole document in brief, all at once. Chat with PDF suits a specific question, such as a deadline, a fee or a name. A good pattern is to summarize first to see the shape of a document, then ask Chat with PDF about the parts you need in detail.
