Document Summarizer
Upload a PDF and get its most important points as flip-through cards, one at a time -- free. Text is extracted on your device first -- only that extracted text, not the file itself, is sent to summarize it. Download the cards as a PDF or Word doc.
How it works
- Choose a PDF.
- Scanquil reads the text on your device (OCR runs automatically for scanned pages), then picks out the key points.
- Flip through the point cards, or download them as a PDF or Word doc -- one point per page.
Features
- Free, no sign-up, no watermark
- Text extraction happens on your device -- only the extracted text is sent to pick out the key points
- Works on scanned PDFs too, via automatic on-device OCR
- Download as a PDF or Word document, one point per page
- Save the key points to a group -- reopen the group later to flip through the cards again, not just read flattened text
- Works on any modern phone, tablet, or desktop browser
Frequently asked questions
Is the document summarizer free?
Yes, completely free with no sign-up, no watermark, and no limit on how often you use it.
Is my PDF uploaded anywhere?
The PDF file itself never leaves your device -- its text is extracted locally first. Only that extracted text is sent to pick out the key points, and it isn't stored anywhere after the request completes.
How is this different from the Flashcard Generator?
Flashcards are question-and-answer pairs meant for studying and testing recall. This tool skips the Q&A entirely -- each card is just one key point from the document, meant for a quick read-through rather than quizzing yourself.
How is this different from Summarize PDF?
Summarize PDF gives you one paragraph-plus-bullets summary on the page. This tool breaks the same kind of key points out into individual cards you flip through one at a time, and can download as a PDF or Word document with one point per page.
Does this work on scanned PDFs?
Yes -- pages with no text layer are read with free on-device OCR automatically before picking out key points, same as the PDF to Text tool.
Does this work on mobile?
Yes -- it works in any modern browser on a phone, tablet, or desktop, with no app to install.
