A useful summary keeps the main claims, decisions and evidence and drops repetition and detail. The Text Summarizer condenses articles, reports, notes and chapters into their main points so you can decide what to read closely, what to cite and what to share.
01
What it works well on
Summaries are most reliable on text with a clear structure.
Articles, reports and research papers.
Meeting notes and long email threads.
Book chapters and lecture notes for revision.
Documents uploaded as TXT, DOC or DOCX (up to 10 MiB).
02
How to check a summary
Read the summary against the source before you rely on it.
The main conclusion is the same as the source’s conclusion.
Numbers and names match the original exactly.
Nothing in the summary is stronger or more certain than the source.
Important limitations or exceptions are not missing.
03
Summaries in academic work
A summary helps you understand and organize sources; it does not replace reading them. When you summarize a source in your own paper, cite it, and write the summary in your own words.
04
Summarize, then act
Turn a summary into bullet points with Paragraph to Bullet Points, simplify it with Dumb It Down, or translate it with the AI Translator. Output can be set to English, Simplified Chinese, Spanish, French or German.

Text Summarizer FAQ
How long can the input be?
Up to 50,000 characters per request, or a TXT, DOC or DOCX file up to 10 MiB. Very long documents are easier to check when summarized section by section.
Can I control the summary length?
The summarizer focuses on the main points. For a shorter result, summarize a smaller section or run the summary through Paragraph to Bullet Points.
Can a summary be wrong?
Yes. AI summaries can drop context or overstate findings. Compare key claims and numbers with the source before you use them.
Can I summarize in another language?
Yes. Set the output language to English, Simplified Chinese, Spanish, French or German, or keep it the same as the input.
Do I need an account?
Yes. Summaries use words from a paid plan allowance. You can paste and prepare text before signing in.
