Summarize a PDF online
Upload the file and read the short version first. PDFStream AI summarises a PDF online in seconds — a plain-language overview, the key points that matter, and the numbers and dates behind them so you can check the summary against the source.
- Plain-language summary plus key points
- Original text and tables kept alongside the summary
- Export the summary as a PDF report
- 10 documents a month free, unlimited on Pro
A summary you can verify
Every summary sits next to the extracted text, tables and key values from the same document, so you are never asked to trust a paragraph on its own. The extraction reports only what the document states and leaves anything it cannot find empty rather than guessing.
Works in the browser
There is nothing to install. Create a free account, drag the PDF in, and the summary appears in your workspace along with an exportable report.
Long documents included
Reports, studies and contracts of up to 20 MB are handled in one pass, with multi-page tables reassembled rather than chopped up.
