How to use Ask PDF
- 1
Drop in a PDF. We pull the text out on your device; the file itself stays put.
- 2
Ask a question, or tap Summarise.
- 3
Read the answer. Every point links to its page with the exact quote, so you can check it.
Answers with receipts
Every key point cites its page numbers and a word-for-word quote from your document. We check each quote against the text before showing it, and mark anything we couldn't match. If the document doesn't say, the answer says so.
What actually leaves your device
Your PDF never does. Your browser extracts the page text, shows you how much will be sent, and only after you press Ask is that text sent to our AI service (run by Sequence Industries, powered by Anthropic's Claude). The text and the answer are deleted within 24 hours, and the text is dropped as soon as the answer is ready.
What it's good at, and what it isn't
Contracts, policies, reports, invoices, manuals: anything with real text. It can't read scanned pages (no OCR yet) and it isn't a lawyer, accountant or doctor. Use it to find things fast, then check the quote.
Questions people actually ask
Is it free?
Yes, 5 questions a day per person, no account. It costs us real money per question, so the limit keeps it free.
Do you upload my PDF?
No. Only the extracted text is sent, and only when you press Ask. It's used to answer you, never to train AI models, and deleted within 24 hours. Every other tool on the site never sends anything at all.
Why does it say my PDF looks scanned?
Scanned pages are pictures of text, with nothing to read. OCR isn't available yet.
How big a document can it handle?
Up to 200 pages and about 400,000 characters of text. For longer files, split the PDF first and ask about the part you need.
Can I trust the answer?
Trust the quotes, not the vibes. Each point shows the exact text and page it came from, and anything we couldn't verify is flagged. For legal, financial or medical decisions, ask a professional.
