What SummarizeDocs is
SummarizeDocs is a web-based tool that turns documents and pasted text into summaries. It supports PDFs, Word documents, PowerPoint files, Excel, Markdown, JSON, and pasted text. Readers can select key points, a paragraph, or a one-line result, then choose a short, medium, or long length. The site says PDF text extraction takes place locally in the browser before the text is sent to a model. It also says original documents are not stored, and guest and free summaries are never stored. Anonymous visitors have two lifetime uses, tracked by cookie; an email-verified free account gets 10 credits, with another 10 available through an invite code. Credit use depends on document length. The free tier has a 10K-character maximum, while Pro and credit-pack plans have a 50K-character maximum at general availability. Pro and some credit packs include DOCX or PDF export.
