Summarize a PDF with its own sentences
This is an extractive summary. The tool ranks every sentence in the PDF, TextRank style, and keeps the most important ones. It also lists the key terms.
It does not write new sentences, so every line in the summary appears word for word in the original. Nothing is invented. You set the length.
Private by design: no AI service involved
The text is never sent to an AI service or any server. It works on English and other languages that separate words with spaces.
Scanned PDFs need OCR PDF first so there are sentences to rank. To keep the full text instead, use PDF to Text.
