Find the main points with page references
Upload a document, consent to sending its extracted text to OpenAI, and receive an overview with key points and page references where the model can identify them. Download the result as text or Word.
Decide which parts need a closer read
A summary can help you navigate a long report before reading specific sections. Each request uses up to 60,000 extracted characters; a truncation notice signals that some text was omitted. Split a longer document when you need fuller coverage.
Before you start
A verified account is required. A request uses up to 60,000 extracted characters; a notice identifies truncation. AI can omit or misinterpret information. Use the references to check the original, especially before making decisions based on the summary.

Summarize PDF questions
Will a summary cover a very long PDF in full?
Not necessarily. The request is limited to 60,000 extracted characters. Check the truncation notice and use smaller sections if needed.
Can I trust every page reference?
AI can produce incorrect claims or references. Open the original page and check that it supports the statement.
Is this included in the Free plan?
A verified free account receives 3 AI requests per month. Pro includes 200. Summaries, questions and translations share that allowance.
What happens to my files?
Files are private to your session or account. Free downloads expire after 2 hours; Pro downloads after 7 days. You can delete them sooner from your workspace. Extracted text is sent to OpenAI only after you confirm AI processing.
