Free AI text summarizer — condense articles and documents into a short, medium or detailed summary as paragraphs or bullets. No signup.
About the Text Summarizer
This free AI text summarizer condenses long articles, reports, essays and documents into a summary you can actually use. Choose the length — Short (about two sentences), Medium (a paragraph) or Detailed — and the format, flowing paragraphs or scannable bullet points. A compression stat shows how much shorter the summary is than the original.
It is built for real workflows: skim a long article before deciding to read it, turn research into notes, write an abstract or TL;DR, or brief a colleague on a document in seconds. No signup, no word limits to buy, no watermark.
The AI is instructed to stick to what the text actually says and add nothing — but as with any automatic summary, verify key facts against the source before quoting or acting on them.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this text summarizer free?
Yes — free with no signup and no usage tiers. Requests are rate-limited per visitor so the service stays fast for everyone.
How long can the text be?
Up to about 8,000 characters — roughly 1,200-1,500 words — per request. For longer documents, summarize section by section and then summarize the combined summaries.
Does the summary add information that isn't in the text?
It is explicitly instructed not to — the summary should only restate what your text contains. AI can still occasionally compress something inaccurately, so double-check names, numbers and conclusions against the original before relying on them.
Which length should I pick?
Short (~2 sentences) works for TL;DRs and previews, Medium (~1 paragraph) for abstracts and briefings, and Detailed for study notes where you need every key point. Bullet format is best when you plan to scan or paste into notes.
Can I use this for school or work documents?
Yes — it is a reading and drafting aid. For coursework, check your institution's AI policy, and treat the summary as your starting point rather than a submission.
