Paste a long article, essay or report and get the key points in seconds — as a tight summary, a clean paragraph, or scannable bullets. Keep what matters, skip the rest.
Paste text, pick a format, and hit Summarize.
A few crisp sentences, a flowing paragraph, or scannable bullets — Executive and TL;DR on Pro.
We rank sentences by how central they are, so the summary captures the substance, not the filler.
Your text is processed securely to create the summary, then deleted — we don't store it or train on it.
Most of what we read is longer than it needs to be. A research paper buries one finding under ten pages of method, a news story stretches a single update across twenty paragraphs, a meeting recap rambles before it lands. A summarizer's job is to find the sentences that actually carry the argument and hand them back to you, so you can decide in thirty seconds whether the full text is worth your time.
This one is extractive, which is a deliberate choice. Rather than rewriting your source into fresh sentences, it lifts the most important lines straight out of the original and stitches them together in their existing order. That means the summary reads in the author's own words — no smoothed-over paraphrase that quietly changes what they meant, and no invented detail that was never on the page.
Under the hood the tool scores every sentence against the rest of the document. It looks at which meaningful words a sentence shares with the text as a whole — ignoring the filler words like "the," "and" and "of" that appear everywhere and signal nothing — and rewards sentences built from the terms the piece keeps returning to. A line packed with the article's recurring vocabulary is almost always one of its load-bearing claims; a one-off aside usually isn't.
The highest-scoring sentences are then kept in the sequence they originally appeared, which is why the summary still reads like a coherent thread rather than a shuffled list of quotes. How many it keeps depends on the format you pick: Short returns just the two or three strongest lines, Paragraph holds onto roughly a third of the text as flowing prose, and Bullets breaks the top points into a scannable list. On Pro, Executive reshapes those points into a structured brief and TL;DR compresses the whole thing into a single line.
One useful side effect of working this way: the tool can't make anything up. Because every line in the summary is copied verbatim from your source, there's nothing for it to hallucinate — a real risk with generative summarizers that rephrase as they go. What you read in the summary, the author actually wrote.
A summarizer earns its keep whenever there's more to read than time to read it. The people who lean on it most tend to be doing one of these:
Treat the summary as a high-quality skim, not a replacement for the source. It tells you what the text is mostly about and surfaces its strongest lines, which is usually enough to decide your next move — read in full, quote it, or move on. When a decision actually rests on the detail, go back to the original; the summary points you to the right part, it doesn't sign off on it.
Because the tool ranks by what a sentence shares with the rest of the piece, it works best on focused, well-structured writing — an article, an essay, a report that stays on one topic. Throw in a transcript with crosstalk, a page that jams three unrelated stories together, or a list of bullet fragments, and the scores get noisier, because there's no single thread for the sentences to point back to. Splitting mixed text into its separate pieces and summarizing each one gives you a far cleaner result.
A couple of common mistakes are worth dodging. Pasting the whole article when you only care about one section wastes the ranking on parts you'll ignore — paste just that section. And don't expect new analysis: this tool selects from what's there, it doesn't add interpretation, fill gaps or fact-check claims. For the input length, anonymous users get 3 summaries a day and a free account gets 5 a day, each up to 1,000 words; Starter raises that to 25 summaries a day at 5,000 words each, and Pro is unlimited up to 100,000 words.
