Yes. Upload a paper and FynePDF produces a structured summary covering the research question, methodology, findings, and limitations. You can ask follow-up questions and get answers referenced to the page they came from, so you can cite accurately instead of paraphrasing from memory. Always check the summary against the original before quoting it in your own work. On the Free plan, Summarize covers documents up to 50 pages.

APA, MLA, and Chicago. The checker reads your in-text citations and reference list together, flags formatting errors, and identifies sources cited in the text but missing from your references the mismatch that costs the most marks and is hardest to catch by eye.

Yes. The Plagiarism and AI Detector scans documents for copied content and flags writing that appears AI-generated. Students use it to check their own work before submitting; educators use it for academic integrity reviews. Treat the output as a prompt to review, not a verdict - no detector is definitive.

Yes. OCR converts scanned handouts, library scans, and photographs of printed pages into searchable, selectable text you can copy and quote. It works on printed material; handwritten notes aren't supported.

Yes. FynePDF works directly from your browser on any device, including phones and tablets. There's no app to download, so you can summarize a reading or check a citation between classes.

On the Free plan, basic tools like merge and compress handle files up to 600MB, while AI tools such as Summarize and Chat with PDF accept files up to 15MB and 50 pages. Professional raises the AI limit to 100MB and 2,000 pages; Premium goes to 250MB and 3,000 pages.

Yes. Files are encrypted in transit with 256-bit TLS and deleted after processing unless you choose to save them to your library. FynePDF never reads, shares, or trains on your documents. Your thesis and assignments stay yours.

You have 15 days to download anything saved to your library. Your account then reverts to the Free plan's 500MB library allowance, and saved files beyond that are removed. Anything you never saved to your library was already deleted after processing.
