Summarize PDF Online
Summarize a PDF with Chrome's on-device AI or by picking its key sentences, processed in your browser so the document is never uploaded.
Drag a PDF here, or choose a file
Get the main points of a long PDF. It stays on your device.
You can also paste a file directly (Ctrl+V or ⌘V).
This tool runs entirely in your browser. Your file is not uploaded to a server at any point.
A Summary That Never Leaves Your Device
Most PDF summarizers send your document to a server to be read by an AI service. This one does not. The text is read from the PDF in your browser, and the summary is made there too, so contracts, reports and papers stay on your computer.
Two Ways to Summarize
On-device AI uses the language model built into recent versions of Chrome on a desktop computer. It writes the summary in its own words, for English documents. The first use downloads the model to the browser once.
Key sentences picks the sentences that best represent the document, word for word. It cannot rephrase, but it works in every browser and every language, and everything it shows is really in your PDF.
Scanned Documents
A scan is a picture of a page, with no text to read. Run it through OCR PDF first, then summarize the result.
