Free Text Summarizer

Paste a long article, paper, or report and get an instant extractive summary — the most important sentences, ranked and assembled, at whatever length you choose. No AI paraphrasing, no invented wording: every sentence in your summary appears verbatim in the source.

Extractive vs abstractive: why it matters

AI summarizers rewrite content, which means they can subtly distort meaning — dangerous for research, legal, or medical text. Extractive summarization selects instead of rewriting: it scores every sentence by keyword weight, position, and centrality, then keeps the winners. What you get is shorter, but every claim is traceable to your original.

Best uses

Research: skim 20 papers' abstracts in minutes. Meetings: compress long threads to decisions. Study: turn chapters into review sheets. SEO: audit your own articles — if the summary misses your main point, readers will too (then fix it and re-check with our readability checker).

How long should a summary be?
10–15% of the original is a good default; adjust to taste.
