Why summarize PDFs with AI?
A 50-page whitepaper, a lease agreement, a board pack — most PDFs are longer than the time you have to read them. An AI summary gives you the shape of the document in under a minute so you can decide what deserves a full read.
How EasyPDFViewer compares
Most AI PDF summarizers require signup, gate summaries behind a paywall, or upload your file to their servers. EasyPDFViewer extracts text with PDF.js in your browser and only sends the text — never the file — to the AI.
Frequently asked questions
Is this AI PDF summarizer free?
Yes — the tool is free to use. Usage is subject to fair-use limits to keep it free for everyone.
How does it work?
Your browser extracts the PDF text with PDF.js. Only the extracted text is sent to our AI to generate a summary. The PDF file itself never leaves your device.
Which AI model does it use?
Google Gemini 1.5 Flash — fast, reliable, and well-suited to summarization.
Does it work with scanned PDFs?
Not yet. Scanned/image-only PDFs need OCR first, which we'll add soon. Text-based PDFs work great.
Is my content stored?
No. Requests are processed live and not persisted.
How long a PDF can I summarize?
Up to about 80,000 characters (roughly 20-30 pages) per summary. Split longer PDFs first.
