Summarize a PDF with AI

The tool extracts your PDF’s text and summarizes it with the AI model built into Chrome or Edge (138+) — key points or tl;dr, as downloadable Markdown. Fully local processing: nothing is sent to a server.

FAQ

Which browser is required?

Chrome or Edge 138+. The browser’s AI model (Gemini Nano) is downloaded once by the browser itself.

Is the PDF modified?

No — the summary is a separate Markdown file; the source document is untouched.

What about scanned PDFs?

Summarizing needs a text layer: run the OCR tool first on a scanned document.

  1. Drop your PDF
  2. Pick the summary type and length
  3. Run the synthesis and download the summary
