What you get

Why use Mergevanta to summarize a PDF

The summary you need

Short, medium or detailed, as bullet points or paragraphs — and an optional focus, such as deadlines or costs, that gets the most space.

In your language

Keep the document's language or get the summary in Hindi, Spanish, Arabic, Chinese and 40+ other languages.

Only the text leaves

The PDF is read in your browser. Just its text travels, encrypted, to our AI model, and nothing is stored after the summary is sent back.

Long documents too

Longer PDFs are read in parts and then summarized as a whole, and you can pick the pages to cover.

Our AI model is told to report only what the document says, but AI can still miss a point or get a detail wrong. Use the summary to get the gist quickly, and check numbers, dates and anything important against the PDF.

Scanned PDFs are pictures of text. Run the file through OCR PDF first to add a text layer, then summarize the new file.
