Is Summarize PDF free to use?

Summarize PDF requires signing in with Google and runs on AI credits — every account starts with 5 free credits, and each AI action uses one. All of PDF AutoPilot's non-AI tools stay free with no account.

What gets sent where?

PDF AutoPilot extracts the text in your browser; only that text goes to your processing server, which forwards it to the AI provider (Anthropic). The PDF file itself never leaves your device.

How long a document can it handle?

Up to roughly 150,000 characters of extracted text — around 50–70 dense pages. Longer documents are summarized from the first ~150k characters, and the tool tells you when that happens.

Can I choose how detailed the summary is?

Yes — pick Short for the gist, Medium for the key points, or Detailed for a section-by-section rundown. You can re-run with a different length any time.
