Steps
Add your PDF
Drag your PDF onto the box, or click Choose a file. It opens right in your browser. Nothing is uploaded.
Choose the style and length
Under Style, pick Key points or Paragraph. Under Length, pick Short, Medium, or Long.
Click Summarize
In Chrome on a computer, the browser's built in AI writes the summary. Elsewhere, Okaysize picks the document's most important sentences.

Tips
- Scanned PDFs need OCR PDF first so there's text to summarize.
- The first summary in Chrome may take a minute while the AI model downloads; after that it's quick.
Questions
Is the summary accurate?
It's a quick overview. For anything important, check the original: the summary lists what the document covers so you know where to look.
Does it work offline?
Once the page and the AI model are loaded, yes.
