Pull the key sentences from a PDF
A short overview of a long PDF
Sentences picked automatically from the original. They don't replace reading the whole document.
On-device translation isn't available in this version. The document is not sent to any translation service.
Your file stays on your device. No sign-up, no limits.
This tool pulls the key sentences out of a PDF so you can skim a long document in a minute. It scores each sentence by how often the important words appear and keeps the top ones, word for word. It isn’t generative AI and doesn’t rewrite anything. You can also save the whole text as Markdown. Scans need OCR first.

How it works
Everything runs on your device: the PDF isn’t uploaded and no translation or AI service is called. Choose the file, pick “Key sentences” or “Markdown text” under Result and press “Pull out sentences”.
Because the sentences are copied from the original, nothing is invented. What you lose is context. A sentence that starts with “however” may need the one before it, so check anything important against the full document.
Worked example
A 42-page tender document lands in your inbox at 5 pm, and you need to know by tomorrow whether it is worth bidding. The extract gives you around 15 sentences, including the deadline, the budget cap and the required references. That tells you which three sections to read properly.
Questions people ask
Is this an AI summary?
No. The tool picks existing sentences by word frequency and doesn’t write new text. It can’t misquote the document, but it can miss a point that is phrased only once.
Why do I get nothing from a scanned PDF?
A scan contains pictures of text, not text. Run it through OCR PDF first, then come back.
What is the Markdown option for?
It saves all of the PDF’s text as a plain .md file with headings kept where possible. That is handy for notes apps or for pasting into another tool.
