Summarize PDF

Yes. Read a document overview without signing in, then try one AI answer by typing a question, choosing a suggestion, or running the analysis. Each new upload gets one answer, shared across tools and agents. A paid plan unlocks further interactions within its AI allowance.

The AI is instructed to summarize the uploaded document and tie its findings to source pages. It can still miss context, misread a scan, or summarize a detail incorrectly. Follow citations and compare important figures, terms, and conclusions with the original PDF before using the summary.

Choose an executive summary, bullet points, a Q&A breakdown, an outline, or a chapter-by-chapter walkthrough, and narrow the focus to something specific like financial figures or contractual obligations.

Yes. Scanned PDFs are prepared with OCR so the summarizer can read their text. Results depend on scan clarity, layout, and language. Check cited passages against the original scan, especially for figures, dates, and small print.

Free supports files up to 15MB and 50 pages, Professional up to 100MB and 2,000 pages, and Premium up to 250MB and 3,000 pages. The shared AI processing allowance is 15MB per day on Free, 2.5GB per month on Professional, and 5GB per month on Premium. Free includes document overviews plus one AI answer per document across tools and agents. Uploads also follow your task limits.

Summarize when you want the whole document reduced, you haven't read it, and you need to know what's in it before deciding whether to. Chat with PDF when you already know roughly what's in there and need one specific thing out of it: a clause, a figure, a date. A common pattern is to summarize first to get your bearings, then switch to chat to pull the details, since the same document works in both. Chat also cites the page for every answer, which matters when you need to quote or verify.

Seconds for most documents. A 40-page report is typically summarized before you've finished reading the first line of the output; a 2,000-page document on Professional takes proportionally longer but still finishes in well under a minute. Scanned documents take a little longer than digital ones because the text has to be recognised before it can be condensed. Nothing needs to be installed and nothing is queued, processing starts the moment the upload finishes.

As a first pass, yes; as a substitute for reading the parts that matter, no. Strict grounding means the summary won't contain claims your document doesn't make, which removes the main failure mode of general AI summarizers. What a summary can't do is judge which omission is significant to you, a clause that reads as boilerplate in general may be the one that matters in your situation. Use the summary to find the sections worth your attention, then read those sections. For contracts specifically, Chat with PDF will cite the exact page for anything you need to quote.

Use Compare PDF to review several documents together. There is no file-count cap: sets can total 15MB on Free, 100MB on Professional or 250MB on Premium, within your AI allowance. Each PDF must fit the plan's page limit. Starting Compare counts one task for the set; uploading its files does not spend separate comparison tasks.
