How to use PDF Summarizer
Choose a text-based PDF, set the number of summary sentences, then run the tool.
What the result contains
This is local extractive summarization: it selects sentences from the document. It does not generate new AI prose, and scans without text may yield little.
Practical tip
Review the original for context and use OCR first on scanned pages.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need an account?
No account is needed to run this tool.
Are my files uploaded?
No. The PDF Summarizer runs in your browser, so your file is processed on your own device and is not uploaded to our server. The page only downloads the free code libraries it needs.
Should I check the downloaded file?
Yes. Open the result and confirm its pages and content before sharing or deleting your original.
