- Instant mode picks the most important sentences from the document itself.
Summarize PDF FAQ
Will my original PDF be changed?
No. Your original file stays unchanged. Download the result as a separate file.
Which AI model is used?
Your browser’s built-in summarizer (Gemini Nano in Chrome) when present; otherwise an instant extractive summary, or — if you choose — an open model (DistilBART) running locally with Transformers.js. Nothing is sent to an AI service.
Can it summarise scanned PDFs?
Run OCR PDF first so the pages have text, then summarise the result. Summaries work best on reports, papers and notes in English.
