PDF Summariser

Summarise a PDF with AI: overview, detailed or section summaries, key points, action items, dates and figures.

Loading PDF Summariser…
Each AI request uses exports according to how much text it reads and writes. You see the most it can use before you start, and you pay only for what’s actually used; copying and downloading the answer are included.
  • Processed by our AI services, then deleted
  • Free account needed

Summarise any PDF in seconds

The PDF Summariser reads your PDF and writes the summary you need: a brief overview, a detailed or section-by-section summary, the key points, action items and next steps, or the important dates and figures, each with page references.

Summaries keep what the document says separate from interpretation, and can be written in another language. Download or copy them, or ask follow-up questions with Chat with PDF.

Price and privacy

AI tools need a free account and are paid from bought exports or the Monthly 50 allowance (not Unlimited or free welcome credits), because every request costs us an AI fee. Before you start, you see the most a request can use; you then pay only for what Claude actually reads and writes. Copying and downloading the answer are included. The PDF’s text is sent to our server and to Anthropic’s Claude only to answer your request. It isn’t stored and isn’t used to train AI. See pricing.

Privacy and price

Your PDFs are processed by your own browser (using the open-source pdf-lib and PDF.js libraries), so they’re never uploaded to us or anyone else, and nothing is kept after you close the page. Trying the tool is free; each download uses 1 export (one PDF or one ZIP), and downloading the same result again within 24 hours is free. See pricing.

Questions about this tool

Is the PDF Summariser free?

A transcript uses 6 exports per 30 minutes of recording (or part), taken when transcription starts. Each AI summary uses 6 exports plus 2 per hour of recording. Exports come from £1.00 for 5, or a monthly plan. Downloads are included, you always see the cost before you start, and if anything fails the exports are returned.

Does the summary say where each point comes from?

Yes. Every point has a page reference such as (p. 3), so you can check it against the PDF. Anything the summariser adds as interpretation is labelled as such.

How long can the PDF be?

Up to about 400,000 characters of text (roughly 150 pages of dense text). Longer PDFs can be split first. Scanned PDFs need OCR PDF first.

Is my information uploaded?

What you enter is sent to our server to do the lookup, and the result may be cached briefly so the tool stays fast. Nothing else from your device is uploaded.

Does it work on my phone?

Yes. It works in any modern browser on phones, tablets and computers, with nothing to install.
