Can this summarize scanned PDFs?

This first version works best with text-based PDFs. Scanned image PDFs require OCR and may be added as a separate feature later.

Does the summary replace reading the PDF?

No. AI summaries are meant to help you review a document faster, but you should verify important legal, financial, medical, or business details in the original PDF.

Is my OpenAI API key exposed?

No. The page extracts text in the browser and sends only the extracted text to a Supabase Edge Function where the OpenAI key is stored securely.

How to summarize a PDF

PDF Summary is designed for documents that already contain selectable text. The page first reads the text in your browser, then sends only the extracted text to the summary service. Your original PDF is not uploaded to the AI model.

Upload a readable PDF such as a report, bill, statement, or contract draft.
Check the original document on the left side while the extracted text is prepared.
Generate a short outline with key points and important details.
Download the summary as a text file and compare sensitive details with the original PDF.

PDF Summary FAQ

Can it summarize scanned PDFs?

Yes, but scan-based PDFs should go through Smart OCR first. Smart OCR turns image pages into readable text, so PDF Summary can produce cleaner key points and suggested questions.

Does this replace legal, tax, or medical advice?

No. The summary is a reading helper. Always confirm names, dates, amounts, account numbers, deadlines, and official wording in the original document.

Why does the result look like an outline?

An outline is easier to scan than a long paragraph. It helps you quickly see the main topic, key details, and questions worth asking next.
