Unlock the Text Hidden Inside Your PDFs

Step 1

Upload Any PDF File

Import PDF files directly from your device and let Summary AI instantly extract readable, editable text from your documents.

An iPhone screen shows the SummaryAI.app interface with a list of past recordings and a “New Summary” button. Next to it, a pop-up menu offers three actions: “Record Audio” (with a microphone icon), “Upload from files” (PDF & Recordings), and “To-Do List” (Tasks, To-Dos and Notes).
A smartphone screen displays the SummaryAI.app summary view titled “Project Progress and Next Steps.” Surrounding it are three labeled badges with green checkmarks: “Insights,” “Next Steps,” and “Action Items,” all set against a light teal background.

Step 2

Extract & Organize Text Automatically

Turn PDFs into clean text files, searchable notes, and reusable content you can quickly review, edit, and summarize.

Step 3

Edit, Export and Share

Copy extracted text, make edits, and export your files to TXT, Docs, PDF, or other formats directly from Summary AI.

A smartphone screen shows the SummaryAI.app interface titled “Project Progress and Next Steps.” Above it float eight circular icons for Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, WhatsApp, Notion, Slack, Email, and LinkedIn integrations, all set against a soft blue background.
