Frequently asked questions

Is my PDF uploaded?

The file itself isn't. Its text is extracted in your browser, and only that text is sent to the AI service to be summarised.

How long can the document be?

Very long documents are trimmed to fit the AI model's limit, so the summary focuses on the first part. Split long files into sections for full coverage.

Does it work on scanned PDFs?

Yes. Scanned pages are run through OCR before summarising.
