Summarize PDF with AI
On-device AI summaries of any PDF
Everything runs locally in your browser. Your data never leaves your device.
About this tool
Drop a PDF and get a clear AI-generated summary in seconds. This tool reads the document's text and uses Chrome's built-in Gemini Nano model, which runs locally in your browser, to condense it. Long documents are summarized in parts and then combined. Because everything happens on your device, your content never leaves your computer.
Frequently asked questions
Is my PDF uploaded to a server?
No. The text is extracted in your browser and summarized by Chrome's on-device AI model, so nothing is sent anywhere.
Why does it say AI is unavailable?
The built-in Prompt API needs a recent desktop Chrome with the feature enabled and the model downloaded. Once available, the model downloads once and then works offline.
Does it work on scanned PDFs?
Only if the PDF contains real, selectable text. Scanned image-only PDFs have no text layer to summarize.
