Limitations and notes

  • It is an extractive summary, not AI: it copies sentences from the document without rewriting them.
  • A scanned PDF is just an image with no text to summarise: run it through “OCR for PDF” first.
  • Tables and columns are read as running text, so the order of some sentences may not be perfect.

Frequently asked questions

Is my PDF uploaded anywhere?

No. The text is read in your browser with pdf.js and the summary is computed on your device.
