A document summarizer turns long text or PDFs into short, readable summaries and key points so you can grasp the main ideas without reading every word. Our free tool lets you paste text or upload a short PDF (first 2–3 pages free) and get an AI-generated summary in seconds. The same summarization engine powers our dashboard—you get a concise overview and bullet points that you can copy or download. No signup is required for the first 2–3 pages or up to 15,000 characters of pasted text. For full-document summarization and more monthly credits, create a free account. If you need to extract raw text from a PDF first, use our PDF to Text tool; for contract or legal document analysis, try our Legal Risk Analyzer.
