Frequently Asked Questions
What types of PDFs can I summarize?
Any text-based PDF: research papers, reports, books, contracts, articles, presentations, and more. Scanned image PDFs without OCR text layers cannot be processed.
How long does it take?
Most PDFs are summarized in 15–30 seconds. Longer documents (books, lengthy reports) may take up to a minute.
How accurate is the summary?
We use state-of-the-art AI models (via OpenRouter) to generate summaries. Results are concise and cover the main arguments, but always read critical documents yourself.
What languages are supported?
The tool works best with English PDFs. The AI will attempt to summarize in the original language of the document.
