About this tool

A 60-page report usually has two pages of substance. This summarizer finds them with classic extractive analysis: it scores every sentence by how many of the document's most frequent meaningful words it contains, then returns the top sentences in their original order so the summary still reads like the argument, not a word salad. It is ideal for research papers, tenders, contracts and long committee minutes — and because it runs locally, unpublished documents stay unpublished. Your file never leaves this page — everything runs in your browser, there is no upload endpoint on this site, and the document is dropped from memory when you close the tab.

FAQ

Is my PDF uploaded?
No. Your file never leaves this page — everything runs in your browser, there is no upload endpoint on this site, and the document is dropped from memory when you close the tab.
How does the summary work?
Extractive scoring: sentences rich in the document's frequent meaningful words rank highest; top sentences are shown in original order.
What about scanned PDFs?
Scans without a text layer have no selectable text, so there is nothing to summarize — run OCR first.
How many key sentences do I get?
The top 5 by default, chosen from the full document.
Does it understand meaning like AI?
It uses statistical sentence scoring, not a cloud AI model — that is what keeps it free, instant and private.
Can I copy the summary?
Yes — one click copies the key sentences.
