Chat With Any PDF — Ask Questions, Get Summaries, Extract Key Points Free
Most PDF tools let you convert or compress your files. Very few let you actually understand them.
Chat with PDF is different. You upload a document, ask a question in plain English, and get a direct answer — without reading the whole thing yourself.
What is Chat with PDF?
Chat with PDF is a free AI tool on Everyday Tools that lets you have a conversation with any PDF document. Upload a contract, report, research paper, or any text-based PDF, and ask it anything.
It uses Claude AI to read the document and answer your questions accurately — based only on what's in the file.
What can you do with it?
Summarize any document instantly
Instead of reading a 40-page report, ask:
"Summarize this document for me"
You get a concise summary in seconds. Great for research papers, annual reports, government documents, and lengthy contracts.
Ask specific questions
"What is the payment amount in clause 5?"
"What are the key deliverables mentioned?"
"When does this agreement expire?"
The AI reads the document and answers directly. No scrolling through pages.
Extract key points
"What are the main points of this document?"
"List all the important dates mentioned"
"What are the terms and conditions?"
Perfect for legal documents, tenancy agreements, employment contracts, and policy documents.
Find specific information
"Does this document mention a penalty clause?"
"What is the notice period?"
"Is there any mention of intellectual property?"
Instead of using Ctrl+F to search manually, ask Sofi to find it for you.
Who is it for?
Chat with PDF is especially useful for:
Students — Summarize academic papers and research journals quickly. Extract the methodology, findings, and conclusions without reading the whole paper.
Professionals — Review contracts and agreements faster. Ask questions about specific clauses before signing.
Job seekers — Upload a job description and ask "what are the key skills required?" or "what does a typical day look like?"
Business owners — Review supplier agreements, service contracts, and compliance documents without legal expertise.
Anyone — who receives a long PDF and needs to understand it quickly.
Works in English, Bahasa Malaysia and Sindhi
Chat with PDF supports three languages. You can upload an English document and ask questions in Bahasa Malaysia, or vice versa. The AI understands your question regardless of the language you use.
Limits
Chat with PDF is completely free with no account required. Current limits:
- 3 free questions per day — resets at midnight
- 25MB maximum file size
- Text-based PDFs only — scanned documents need OCR first
- Files deleted after 1 hour — for your privacy
Why text-based PDFs only?
Chat with PDF works by reading the text layer of your PDF. Scanned documents — like photographed paper or fax printouts — don't have a text layer; they're just images. For those, use the OCR PDF tool on Everyday Tools first to make them text-searchable, then upload to Chat with PDF.

Frequently asked questions
Is it really free?
Yes. 3 free questions per day, no account, no credit card.
Can it read any PDF?
Text-based PDFs yes. Scanned/image PDFs need OCR first.
Does it support Bahasa Malaysia?
Yes — ask questions in English, Bahasa Malaysia or Sindhi.
Is my document private?
Yes. Files are encrypted during upload and automatically deleted after 1 hour. The AI reads the document to answer your question but does not store the content.
How accurate are the answers?
Very accurate for factual questions — it only answers based on what's in the document, never guesses or makes things up. If the information isn't in the PDF, it will tell you.
What's the difference between Chat with PDF and Ask Sofi?
Ask Sofi is the floating assistant that processes your files — compress, merge, edit. Chat with PDF is specifically for reading and understanding document content. Both are powered by Claude AI and accessible from the same site.
