Frequently asked questions

How long a document can I summarise?

Long reports work — the text is extracted and processed in chunks. Very long documents produce a summary of summaries, which trades some nuance for coverage. The extracted text is sent to our AI provider; you'll need to be signed in.

Is Summarize PDF free to use?

Yes — Summarize PDF is free to use. It runs on our servers, so the Free plan includes a daily allowance; Premium removes the limits and raises the file-size cap.

Are my files uploaded or stored anywhere?

Your file is sent over an encrypted connection, processed, and automatically deleted from our servers shortly after — typically within an hour. We never read, share or keep your documents.

Do I need to install anything or create an account?

Nothing to install — everything happens online. You'll need a free account so we can queue your job and keep your result private to you.

How do I use Summarize PDF?

Open the tool, add your file, adjust any options, then press “Summarize”. Your result is ready to download in seconds.
