About this tool
Paste in a long article, essay, or document and get back a clear, concise AI-generated summary in seconds — choose short, medium, or long depending on how much detail you need. Useful for quickly understanding the gist of a long piece of text before deciding whether to read it in full.
The three length options aren't just about word count — a short summary aims for the core takeaway in a sentence or two, medium keeps the main supporting points, and long preserves most of the structure while trimming redundancy. For very technical or nuanced source material, a longer summary setting is usually safer, since aggressive shortening can occasionally drop an important qualifier or caveat from the original text.

Frequently asked questions
Which summary length should I pick?
Short works well for a quick headline-level takeaway. Medium keeps the main supporting points. Long is safer for technical or nuanced text where important caveats shouldn't get trimmed away.
Is there a text length limit?
Yes, a character limit shown above the text box — this keeps free-tier usage of the underlying AI model sustainable for everyone.
Does it work on non-English text?
The underlying Gemini AI model handles multiple languages reasonably well, though English input tends to give the most consistently reliable summaries.
