Frequently Asked Questions

Are my uploaded documents stored or used for model training?
No. Documents and extracted text are processed in memory solely to generate your requested summary. They are never permanently stored, shared with third parties, or used to train AI models.
Do I need an account or subscription to summarize PDFs?
No account creation, sign-up, or subscription is required. You can summarize documents directly from your browser.
What is the difference between Short, Medium, and Detailed summaries?
Short provides a high-level synopsis (~80–100 words) ideal for skimming. Medium provides a balanced summary (~150–250 words) with key findings. Detailed provides an in-depth analysis (~300–500 words) covering nuances and recommendations.
Can I summarize large multi-page PDF documents?
Yes. The summarizer can process multi-page PDFs up to 100 MB and hundreds of pages, extracting themes and synthesizing overall conclusions.
Does the summarizer work with scanned PDFs?
The summarizer requires selectable digital text. If your PDF is a scanned photocopy or image with no text layer, you will need to run OCR first before summarizing.
